Abstract

COVID-19 has caused extremally high levels of budgetary deficits and government borrowing, which in the future will require more stringent fiscal policies write Benny Geys and Rune J. Sørensen (BI Norwegian Business School). How can post-Corona fiscal discipline be sustained? Budget preparation by top civil servants can allow for better balancing of the books, they claim.
