On 27 September 2018, a traditional open research seminar will take place in the National Bank of Ukraine. The NBU researcher Artem Vdovychenko will present his research on "How Does Fiscal Policy Affect GDP and Inflation In Ukraine?"
In his paper, Artem Vdovychenko applies the Blanchard-Perotti approach to estimate the impact of fiscal policy on GDP and inflation in Ukraine. The results show that fiscal multipliers in Ukraine in absolute values are higher for budget expenditures than for taxes. Moreover, both budget expenditures and taxes have a positive impact on inflation.
Artem Vdovychenko is a researcher of the NBU’s research unit at the Department of Monetary Policy and Economic Analysis. He holds PhD from the National University of The State Tax Service of Ukraine. His research interests cover a wide range of topics in macroeconomics, fiscal policy, and application of non-linear time series models.
The seminar’s working language will be English.
Seminar venue: room 206, 9, Instytutska St., Kyiv. The venue can be accessed via the central entrance.
