چکیده مقاله:
One of the main objectives of fiscal policy is to stabilize business cycles and macroeconomic stability. Procyclical fiscal policy intensifies business cycle fluctuations and increases the economy's vulnerability to external shocks. Determining the cyclical properties of various types of government expenditures helps the government to adopt an appropriate fiscal policy in times of economic crisis in a way that ensures economic stability. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the cyclical features of fiscal policy and its determinants with respect to the various types of government expenditures in Iran. Using Iran’s time series data from ۱۹۸۰ to ۲۰۱۹ and a regression-based method with a two-stage autoregressive distributed lags model, this study shows that fiscal policy in Iran is procyclical and therefore does not pursue stabilization. In addition, among the various types of government expenditures, government investment in machinery and total government investment has the highest level of procyclicality. Adding control variables intensifies the procyclicality of government investment in construction and government investment in machinery and total government expenditures, and reduces the procyclicality of government consumption and total government investment.
