Abstract
- The aim of this article is to shed some light on the issue of fiscal austerity within Europe. We focus specifically on the 2008Q1-2014Q4 period, and on the effect of shocks to government expenditure and taxes on unemployment, controlling for other macro factors. We find that expenditure contractions may be detrimental for employment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
