    This report compares R&D modelling approaches in four macroeconomic models used by the European Commission for ex-ante policy impact assessment: one Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model - QUEST; one Spatial Computable General Equilibrium (SCGE) model - RHOMOLO; one Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model - GEM-E3; and one macro-econometric model - NEMESIS. The report critically compares particularly those parts of the four models that are relevant to R&D transmission mechanisms and interfaces for implementing policy shocks. Given that R&D investment decisions are inherently dynamic, QUEST appears to be the most suitable model for assessing the impact of R&D and innovation policies over time, as it is the only model with inter-temporal optimisation of economic agents. In order to address questions related to geographic concentration of innovative activities and spatial knowledge spillovers, RHOMOLO has a comparative advantage, as it is the only one which models regional economies and spatial interactions between them explicitly. Due to its detailed treatment of energy sectors and environmental issues, GEM-E3 appears to be the most suitable model for assessing the impact of innovation in clean energy. For a more detailed modelling of different types of innovation measures, NEMESIS can provide valuable insights thanks to its richness in estimating and accounting for specific channels of innovation. We also identify avenues for future research, which in our view could improve the modelling of R&D and innovation policies both from a conceptual and empirical perspective.

    Limited access to credit has been identified as a major constraint to sustainable municipal development, but empirical evidence on the effectiveness of credit operations remains inconclusive. This paper evaluates the impact of federal government guaranteed loans on public expenditures. Using data from Brazilian municipalities and a regression discontinuity design that leverages a discontinuity in the eligibility criteria for federal government guarantees, I show that the loans have a positive impact on the quality of local expenditure and social outcome indicators. This impact is characterized by a significant increase in investment while keeping personnel expenditures stable.

    We examine the relationship between public sector efficiency and government spending, to assess public resource management across the 27 European Union countries. Specifically, we analyze the growth of public expenditure in relation to outcomes across various public sector performance (PSP) indicators. We compute government spending efficiency using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to subsequently assess the relationship between efficiency and the growth rate of public expenditure. Our findings suggest that higher efficiency can be achieved without proportionally increasing public spending, both in total expenditure and in specific areas such as social protection, economic affairs, education, healthcare, and public services. Indeed, with overall output efficiency scores between 0.77 and 0.87, with the same level of inputs, output could increase around 13%-23%. Additionally, public spending tends to rise during recessions, while it decreases with higher levels of human capital and redistribution indicators. Finally, more efficient countries tend to coalesce around Austria, Croatia, Denmark, France, Greece, Hungary, Poland, and Sweden.

    This report presents the new 2022 data on public expenditure on education and discusses the state of counterfactual education policy evaluation in Europe. A new pattern in investment in education is emerging against the backdrop of increased competition for public funding: while the share of GDP invested in education reverted to its pre Covid-crisis trend, the share of public expenditure invested in education remained almost as low as in 2020 and 2021. The findings from a novel comprehensive dataset show that the number of studies applying rigorous evaluation methods has been rising over the past decade in the EU. Nevertheless, there is further room for fostering an evidence-informed approach to education policy.

    Every three years, the European Commission and the Social Protection Committee publish a Pension Adequacy Report, which provides an overview of the current and future adequacy of old-age incomes in EU Member States. A crucial indicator of adequacy is the at-risk-of-poverty rate of older people. Results for this indicator are however only given for past years. Future adequacy is assessed mainly on the basis of the Theoretical Replacement Rates (TRRs), which show future theoretical replacement rates for a range of model persons (e.g. the base case is a person who has worked 40 years full-time at the average wage). The purpose of this report is to show for a selection of countries (Belgium, Slovenia, Czechia, and Norway) that dynamic microsimulation models can produce projections of the future at-risk-of-poverty rates of older people and pensioners. These simulations are made in such a way that they are consistent with projections of both Eurostat (for the demography) and the Ageing Working Group (AWG), which gets its mandate from the Economic Policy Committee. In this way, they allow to assess jointly the financial and social sustainability of pensions in these countries, using the AWG reference scenario and several sensitivity tests and alternative policy scenarios. Similar simulations of at-risk-of-poverty rates were produced in the contexts of the Pension Adequacy Reports of 2015, 2018 and 2021, though the sets of countries varied: Belgium, Hungary and Sweden in 2015, Belgium, Italy and Sweden in 2018 and Belgium, Hungary and Italy in 2021. See Dekkers et al. (2015), Dekkers et al. (2018) and European Union (2021). The simulations presented in this report are produced through dynamic microsimulation models. The Belgian results are produced by the model MIDAS, developed and used by the Belgian Federal Planning Bureau. The results for Norway come from the model MOSART; which is developed and used by Statistics Norway. The results for Slovenia come from the model DYPENSI from the Institute for Economic Research, Slovenia. Finally, the results for Czechia are produced by the model NEMO, from the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of Czechia. This note is structured as follows. The next section describes briefly the AWG projections and hypotheses for the countries involved in this microsimulation project. These projections are used as input for the dynamic microsimulation models and also form the background by which the adequacy results can be evaluated. It also presents the reference scenario and the alter-native scenarios which serve as sensitivity tests. Section three, after a short introduction to dynamic microsimulation models, discusses the simulation results by country. Section four contains a brief conclusion.

    Large and persistent gaps in social protection coverage, comprehensiveness and adequacy are linked to many barriers, including high levels of informality, institutional fragmentation of the social protection system and significant financing gaps for social protection in a context of limited fiscal space. The latter have been further exacerbated by the impact of the COVID-19. Against this background, this paper discusses the magnitude and urgency of the challenge of filling social protection financing gaps and the options for achieving this. Options exist even in low-income countries, including by broadening the tax base; tackling tax evasion and building fair and progressive tax systems together with a sustainable macroeconomic framework; duly collecting social security contributions and tackling non-payment or the avoidance of social security contributions; reprioritizing and reallocating public expenditure; and eliminating corruption and illicit financial flows. National social protection systems should be primarily financed from domestic resources; however, for countries with limited domestic fiscal capacities or countries facing increased needs due to crises, natural disasters or climate change, international financial resources, in combination with technical assistance, could complement and support domestic resource mobilization for social protection. Furthermore, more dialogue and coherence need to be achieved between international financial and development institutions to avoid contradictory policy advice on the level and nature of investment in social protection. Finally, international cooperation, such as on tax matters or debt restructuring, is needed to create an environment that facilitates domestic resource mobilization.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed significant gaps in the coverage, comprehensiveness and adequacy of social protection systems worldwide. These gaps have jeopardized the health, incomes and jobs of billions of people. Closing these protection gaps, facilitating faster and inclusive socio-economic recovery and enhancing resilience against future shocks requires more investment in social protection. Yet, more investment alone is not sufficient; countries also need to invest better in universal social protection, that is, to ensure that investments in social protection contribute to building systems that are aligned with international social security standards, in particular the Social Protection Floors Recommendation, 2012 (No. 202), working in tandem with the Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102). This working paper is intended for a broad audience and outlines how the guidance provided by Recommendation No. 202 contributes to building nationally owned social protection systems that comprehensively and adequately protect the population and leave no one behind, are financially sustainable and socially just and rely on sound management and good governance.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has caused massive disruptions to the global economy and forced policymakers to respond to the newly created challenges. Many policy institutions have therefore had to rethink their established approaches and their usual policy responses. This paper explores whether there has been a change in International Monetary Fund (IMF) policy advice and conditions in its loan programmes and Article IV surveillance by examining the 148 country reports for IMF programmes in 2020, in the context of significant shifts in its global macroeconomic policy framework during the COVID-19 pandemic. It documents the policy recommendations made in these reports and finds that the IMF has supported increased expenditure on health care and cash transfer programmes, often on a temporary basis, even when it meant higher fiscal deficit and public debt. However, it also finds that the IMF has supported fiscal consolidation and reduction of public debt even more frequently, in 129 of the 148 reports examined. This seems to corroborate the findings of a number of recent studies. Given the pronounced gaps in social protection coverage, comprehensiveness and adequacy across all countries, it is essential that the measures taken to cope with the emergency do not remain a mere stopgap response, but progressively lead to the establishment or strengthening of rights-based national social protection systems, including floors. To do so, countries can and should pursue diverse financing options that are equitable in order to mobilize the financial resources needed for social investments, including investments in social protection systems and quality public services.

    Despite the widespread debate about crime in Brazil and the alarming increase in homicides in recent years, few studies have analyzed or expos ed evidence of the impact of public security spending on det erring violence in the country . This may be due to issues of endogeneity when estimating the relationship between securi ty spending and the rate of homicides. The primary innovation presented in this paper is the use of a Bartik - inspired instrument to address the simultaneity issue. It measures government security spending in a two - stage least squares estimation, obtaining outcomes that are not only statistically but also practically significant. Results indicate that an increase of R$ 10 per capita in annual security expenditure leads to a decrease of 0.6 per 100,000 people in the number of homicides.

    It is widely accepted that investing in public infrastructure promotes economic development. However, there is little awareness of the prevalence of unfinished infrastructure projects and their consequences. In this paper, I study the effect of unfinished sewerage infrastructure on early-life mortality in Peru. I compile several sources of administrative panel data for 1,400 districts spanning 2005-2015, and I rely on the budgetary plans and timing of expenditure for 6,000 projects to measure unfinished projects and those completed in a given district. I document that mid-construction abandonment and delays are highly prevalent. I exploit geographical features and partisan alignment to instrument for project implementation. Surprisingly, I find that unfinished sewerage projects increased early-life mortality, driven by lack of water availability, water-borne diseases and accidents. I also show that while unfinished projects pose hazards to the population, completed sewerage projects decrease early-life mortality, in line with public health studies in advanced economies during the previous centuries.

    We document the short-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Brazilian labor market focusing on employment, wages and hours worked using the nationally representative household surveys PNAD-Continua and PNAD COVID. Sectors most susceptible to the shock because they are more contact-intensive and less teleworkable, such as construction, domestic services and hospitality, suffered large job losses and reductions in hours. Given low income workers experienced the largest decline in earnings, extreme poverty and the Gini coefficient based on labor income increased by around 9.2 and 5 percentage points, respectively, due to the immediate shock. The government's broad based, temporary Emergency Aid transfer program more than offset the labor income losses for the bottom four deciles, however, such that poverty relative to the pre-COVID baseline fell. At a cost of around 4 percent of GDP in 2020 such support is not fiscally sustainable beyond the short-term and ended in late 2020. The challenge will be to avoid a sharp increase in poverty and inequality if the labor market does not pick up sufficiently fast in 2021

    This study investigates the impacts of public expenditure innovations on exchange rate volatility in South Africa using quarterly data for the period 1970-2019. To achieve this objective, a version of the vector autoregressive impulse response model proposed by Jordà is employed and the innovations are identified recursively. The impulse response functions indicate that public expenditure innovation has a significant depreciating trend impact on exchange rate volatility, and its impact relies on the type of fiscal expenditure innovation. While the impact of public expenditure innovation on exchange rate volatility does not rely on the direction of the innovation, it varies according to the state of the economy. Public expenditure innovation has a depreciating trend impact on exchange rate volatility in the upturn state, and mostly an appreciating trend impact in the downturn state. The impact is greater in the upturn than the downturn state.
