Diskretionäre Fiskalpolitik: Pro und Kontra

Author

Abstract

Die Schweizer Wirtschaft befindet sich in einer Rezession, von der sie sich nicht schnell erholen wird. In dieser Situation kann die Konjunkturpolitik dazu beitragen, eine selbstverstärkende Abwärtsspirale zu verhindern und soziale Härten abzufedern. Da die Geldpolitik derzeit an Grenzen stösst, hat die Fiskalpolitik an Bedeutung gewonnen. Zwei Stimulierungspakete sind vom Bund bereits beschlossen worden, ein drittes steht zur Debatte. Dargelegt werden hier die positiven Effekte, die von verschiedenen Massnahmen ausgehen können, sowie Argumente, die gegen die Fiskalpolitik aufgeführt werden. Mit dem KOF-Makromodell werden vier alternative Politikvarianten für die Schweiz simuliert und deren Wirkung verglichen. Aus konjunktureller Sicht schneidet dabei eine diskretionäre Erhöhung der Staatsausgaben am besten ab.
