The effects of government spending in the Eurozone

Using a novel rich dataset at the regional level, this paper provides new empirical evidence on the €fiscal transmission mechanism in the Eurozone. Our baseline estimates reveal a government spending relative output multiplier of 2.9, an employment multiplier of 1.9, and a cost per job created of €24,000. Moreover, we €find that a regional €scal stimulus leads to a signi€cant increase in private investment, productivity, durable consumption, and real wages together with a signi€cant rise in total hours worked driven by changes in the extensive margin (total employment), whereas the intensive margin (hours per worker) barely reacts. We estimate only small regional €fiscal spillovers but detect notable state dependencies. Regional fi€scal multipliers are larger in economic recessions, during €fiscal consolidations, and in the core countries of the Eurozone.
