Fiscal dominance in India: an empirical estimation
1Economic Division, Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, New Delhi, India.
Summary
Fiscal dominance, where fiscal policy influences monetary policy, showed varied impacts in India. Before 2003, improved fiscal balance boosted interest rates and growth; after 2003, this dominance faded.
Area of Science:
- Economics
- Monetary Policy
- Fiscal Policy
Background:
- Theoretical literature suggests fiscal dominance can harm economies.
- Recent studies indicate potential benefits under specific conditions.
- The relationship between fiscal and monetary policy requires nuanced understanding.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze fiscal dominance in India.
- To measure the impact of fiscal balance on interest rates and GDP growth.
- To determine the persistence of fiscal dominance in the Indian economy.
Main Methods:
- Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) framework.
- Analysis of Centre's primary fiscal balance.
- Examination of real interest rates and real GDP growth rates.
Main Results:
- Prior to 2003, improved fiscal balance positively impacted real interest rates.
- From 1978-2003, fiscal dominance was evident, with fiscal improvements positively affecting growth.
- After 2003, evidence of fiscal dominance in India diminished.
Conclusions:
- Fiscal dominance in India has evolved over time.
- The impact of fiscal policy on monetary conditions and economic growth is context-dependent.
- Complete separation of fiscal and monetary policy may not always be optimal.

Econometric Views (EViews)
246
Econometric Views, often stylized as EViews, is a package that merges statistical analysis with econometric studies. It is designed to provide tools for time series analysis, forecasting, and econometric model simulation. The software originated from MicroTSP software and has evolved significantly since its inception in 1981. The history of EViews is marked by a continuous effort to enhance its computational speed and user interface. It was initially developed for large computing systems but...

Friedman Two-way Analysis of Variance by Ranks
295
Friedman's Two-Way Analysis of Variance by Ranks is a nonparametric test designed to identify differences across multiple test attempts when traditional assumptions of normality and equal variances do not apply. Unlike conventional ANOVA, which requires normally distributed data with equal variances, Friedman's test is ideal for ordinal or non-normally distributed data, making it particularly useful for analyzing dependent samples, such as matched subjects over time or repeated measures...

Empirical Method to Interpret Standard Deviation
5.4K
The empirical rule, also known as the three-sigma rule, allows a statistician to interpret the standard deviation in a normally distributed dataset. The rule states that 68% of the data lies within one standard deviation from the mean, 95% lies within two standard deviations from the mean, and 99.7% lies within three standard deviations from the mean. Additionally, this rule is also called the 68-95-99.7 rule.
This rule is used widely in statistics to calculate the proportion of data values...

Actuarial Approach
131
The actuarial approach, a statistical method originally developed for life insurance risk assessment, is widely used to calculate survival rates in clinical and population studies. This method accounts for participants lost to follow-up or those who die from causes unrelated to the study, ensuring a more accurate representation of survival probabilities.

Quantitative Analysis
597
Quantitative analysis is a technique for measuring the amount of specific constituents in a sample. When the sample's composition is unknown, qualitative analysis is performed first to identify its components, which ensures that the correct substances are measured during the quantitative phase.
In quantitative analysis, two key measurements are made: the sample quantity and a property proportional to the amount of the analyte (the substance being analyzed). This forms the basis of the...

Central Tendency: Analysis
212
Measures of central tendency are tools used in biostatistics to identify the average or center of a dataset. They offer a single representative value for understanding and summarizing data distribution.
The mean is one such measure, calculated by totaling all values in a dataset and dividing by the number of values. For instance, the mean blood pressure reading (120, 130, 140, 150) would be 135. However, the mean can be affected by extreme values or outliers.
The median, another measure,...
