Weestimatethemodels–boththelinearmodelandtheoneforinflation-at-risk–separatelyfordifferentcombinationsoffiscalandmonetarypolicy.Inparticular,wedistinguishbetweenfourpossiblepolicycombinations:“prudent”or“profligate”fiscalpolicycombinedwith“high”or“low”monetarypolicyindependence.

2.2.1Definingthefiscalregime

Forthebaselinespecification,thefiscalregimesarebasedonadefactomeasure.Weusees-timatesofafiscalpolicyreactionfunctionthatconsiderstheresponseofprimarysurplusestothedebt-to-GDPratio(see

Moreover,theapproachisrobusttochangesingrowthrates(g)andinterestrates(r),anddifferentdebtmanagementpolicies.However,therelationshipbetweengrowthrates,interestratesandρmatterforthetrajectoryofdebt.Inparticular,ifρ>(r−g/1+r),thedebtratioisstationaryandreturnstoitsinitiallevelafterashock.WealsonotethatconsideringaregressionofthetypeinEq(

Asnotedby
