The study looked at how government spending and taxes affect the economy in the euro area. They used a model to estimate the impact of fiscal policy changes. The results show that government spending on goods and services and public employee compensation have small, short-lived effects on private spending. However, giving money to households has a slightly bigger and longer-lasting impact. Lowering taxes on labor income and consumption boosts spending and output, while cutting capital taxes helps investment and output in the medium term. Overall, most fiscal policies don't have a big impact on the ups and downs of the economy.
