Abstrakt

Artykuł ma na celu przeanalizowanie wpływu długu publicznego na wzrost gospodarczy danego kraju. Zainteresowanie tym tematem wzrosło znacząco po rozpoczęciu kryzysu ekonomicznego w 2007 oraz związanym z tym gwałtownym podniesieniem poziomu zadłużenia rządów. W okresie od 2007 do 2014 roku wskaźnik długu publicznego do PKB w Unii Europejskiej wzrósł z 58,7 do 86,8%, co otworzyło szerokie pole do dyskusji – czy ta sytuacja oddziałuje na wzrost gospodarczy? Wykorzystując podejście oparte na danych panelowych, autorzy artykułu znaleźli dowód na to, że w krótkim okresie rosnący dług publiczny ma stały negatywny wpływ na wzrost gospodarczy we wszystkich krajach członkowskich Unii Europejskiej, natomiast w długim okresie negatywny wpływ występuje tylko w tych krajach, które nie spełniają kryteriów z Maastricht.

Słowa kluczowe:

dług rządowy, deficyt budżetowy, wzrost gospodarczy, kryteria z Maastricht
