Resumen

Este documento analiza las políticas fiscales activas durante el período de auge, durante el período de crisis y durante el período posterior a la crisis. El estudio argumenta, en primer lugar, que las políticas fiscales fueron demasiado imprudentes durante la fase de auge anterior a la crisis. Esto se debió al crecimiento excesivo del gasto y a problemas con la medición de la brecha del producto y la posición fiscal. En segundo lugar, durante la crisis, en varios países se puso demasiado énfasis en la necesidad apoyo fiscal (activista) a pesar de los excesos de demanda en los años de auge. El activismo fiscal se centró menos (y menos fuerte de lo necesario) en la naturaleza de balance de la crisis y en la mala asignación de recursos. En tercer lugar, y teniendo en cuenta los fuertes incrementos en las tasas de gasto público durante la crisis, estrategias de política fiscal tienen que llevar el gasto público a niveles sostenibles con el fin de recuperar la sostenibilidad fiscal y crear un entorno propicio para la consolidación y crecimiento.
