Motivation Context: – Candidate Hollande against the Fiscal Compact – Sovereign-debt crisis: contagion to the Eurozone & a divergence device within the Eurozone – France is in-between the strong ‘core’ and the ‘periphery’: common features with the ‘core’ and the ‘periphery’ – President Hollande will apply the Fiscal Compact

Outline French Public finances: a comparison and its key components Managing public debt Assessing the consequences of the Fiscal Compact on French macro variables

French public finances: international comparison

French public finances: spending and composition

French public finances: receipts and composition Properties usually attributed to the French tax system: Tax levies are high The income tax has a narrow basis The tax system is not progressive The tax system is complex

French public finances: deficits (1) DEF = AS + CADEF = IP + PDEF = IP + PAS + PCADEF

French public finances: deficits (2) DEF = AS + CADEF = IP + PDEF = IP + PAS + PCADEF

Debt: are issuances an issue?

Debt management

Costs or benefits with the Fiscal Compact? Methods Two assessments – Empirical VAR estimates of output gap & inflation (CADEF and debt exogenous variables) btw 1972 & possible fiscal rules from 2010 on Counterfactual simulations – Theoretical Small-scale new Keynesian model with both BL and FL expectations; AD depends on public spending; risk premium on public debt; Maastricht-consistent calibration 3 possible fiscal rules from 2012 on Out-of-equilibrium simulations

Costs or benefits with the Fiscal Compact? Empirical results (1)

Costs or benefits with the Fiscal Compact? Empirical results (2)
