| الملخص: | Using Malaysia as a case study, this paper investigates the conduct of
fiscal policy regimes during the last three decades. Empirical results
show that in pre-crisis Malaysia the fiscal stance is not sustainable,
while in the full sampling period (including the post-1997 crisis era) it
satisfies only the necessary condition for sustainability. Long-run oneway
causation from expenditure to revenue was observed, in line with
the spend-and-tax hypothesis. The Malaysian government, therefore,
must aim to reduce the size of government spending and promote a costeffective
expenditure program with maximum benefits, to moderate
the post-crisis fiscal imbalances |
