Funded Activity Summary

Estimating the impact of fiscal stimulus on household expenditure. This project aims to measure the impact on household expenditure of unexpected government bonus payments. Precise measures of this parameter can help improve fiscal policy in Australia and overseas, whilst giving researchers a more precise understanding of how households react to unexpected increases in disposable income. This research will also make a methodological contribution, since we will be using a research methodology not previously implemented in Australia, which is to exploit the random timing of payments across households, combined with a unique household-level panel dataset on weekly expenditure. The project will compare results using this approach with results from other strategies, such as surveys and time series analysis.
