Type de matériel :

The fiscal theory of the price level makes a distinction between two kinds of policy-making regimes: a Ricardian and a non-Ricardian regime. We analyze here the conditions under which these regimes can apply in a given economy to different periods, some of which are troubled periods. The case of Lebanon, which has gone through successive periods of prosperity, war, and reconstruction, offers a case study for the fiscal theory of the price level, and demonstrates its empirical relevance.
