The short survey on current issues relating to government spending and public debt was conducted by the opinion research institute forsa on behalf of the Press and Information Office of the Federal Government. In the survey period from 18.03.2024 to 20.03.2024, the German-speaking population aged 14 and over was asked in telephone interviews (CATI) about their attitudes to government spending and government debt. In particular, the focus is on the assessment of the debt brake and various options for reforming it. Respondents were selected using a multi-stage random sample as part of a multi-topic survey (policy BUS) including landline and mobile phone numbers (dual-frame sample). Assessment of Germany´s overall financial situation in terms of income and expenditure; assessment of Germany´s debt burden compared to most other industrialized countries; opinion on government debt (government debt should generally be avoided, is generally not a problem, only makes sense if it is used for investments for the future); government spends too much vs. too little money on various political and social tasks (health and care, defense, social affairs, climate protection, housing, integration of immigrants, pensions); opinion on the state only taking out new larger loans in exceptional emergency situations such as natural disasters (debt brake should remain as it is, it should be reformed or it should be abolished completely); evaluation of various proposals for reforming the debt regulation (change the debt limit so that the state can generally take on more debt than before, create a transitional rule so that even in the year following an emergency situation it is still possible to take on slightly more debt than usual, allow higher debt to be taken on if the economic situation is worse than expected, allow higher debt to be taken on for defense spending, allow higher debt to be taken on for investments in climate protection, allow higher debt to be taken on for investments in infrastructure such as roads and railways). Demography: sex; age; education; income level low, medium, high (net equivalent income); city size; party preference in the next federal election; voting behavior in the last federal election. Additionally coded were: Respondent ID; region west/east; weighting factor. Die Kurzumfrage über aktuelle Fragen zu Staatsausgaben und Staatsschulden wurde vom Meinungsforschungsinstitut forsa im Auftrag des Presse- und Informationsamtes der Bundesregierung durchgeführt. Im Erhebungszeitraum 18.03.2024 bis 20.03.2024 wurde die deutschsprachige Bevölkerung ab 14 Jahren in telefonischen Interviews (CATI) zu ihren Einstellungen zu Staatsausgaben und Staatsschulden befragt. Insbesondere geht es um die Bewertung der Schuldenbremse bzw. um verschiedene Möglichkeiten, sie zu reformieren. Die Auswahl der Befragten erfolgte durch eine mehrstufige Zufallsstichprobe im Rahmen einer Mehrthemenbefragung (Politik-BUS) unter Einschluss von Festnetz- und Mobilfunknummern (Dual-Frame Stichprobe). Bewertung der finanziellen Lage Deutschlands insgesamt bezogen auf Einnahmen und Ausgaben; Einschätzung der Schuldenlast Deutschlands im Vergleich zu den meisten anderen Industriestaaten; Meinung zu Staatsschulden (Schulden des Staates sollten grundsätzlich vermieden werden, sind grundsätzlich kein Problem, sind nur dann sinnvoll, wenn sie für Investitionen für die Zukunft eingesetzt werden); Staat gibt zu viel vs. zu wenig Geld aus für verschiedene politische und gesellschaftliche Aufgaben (Gesundheit und Pflege, Verteidigung, Soziales, Klimaschutz, Wohnungsbau, Integration von Zugewanderten, Renten); Meinung zur Neuaufnahme größerer Kredite durch den Staat nur in außergewöhnlichen Notsituationen wie z.B. Naturkatastrophen (Schuldenbremse sollte so bestehen bleiben wie sie ist, sie sollte reformiert werden oder sie sollte vollständig abgeschafft werden); Bewertung verschiedener Vorschläge zur Reform der Schuldenregelung (die Schuldengrenze verändern, damit der Staat generell mehr Schulden aufnehmen kann als bisher, eine Übergangsregel schaffen, sodass man auch im Jahr nach einer Notsituation noch etwas mehr Kredite aufnehmen kann als gewöhnlich, die Aufnahme höherer Schulden erlauben, wenn die Wirtschaftslage schlechter ist als erwartet, die Aufnahme höherer Schulden erlauben für Verteidigungsausgaben, die Aufnahme höherer Schulden erlauben für Investitionen in den Klimaschutz, die Aufnahme höherer Schulden erlauben für Investitionen in die Infrastruktur wie Straßen und Schienen). Demographie: Geschlecht; Alter; Bildung; Einkommenslage niedrig, mittel, hoch (Nettoäquivalenzeinkommen); Ortsgröße; Parteipräferenz bei der nächsten Bundestagswahl; Wahlverhalten bei der letzten Bundestagswahl.

The coronavirus pandemic has revived interest in the effects of fiscal policy. This paper studies the effects of government spending on default risk in emerging economies. We first build a general equilibrium small open economy model where government spending shocks influence external debt and sovereign bond spreads. We show that external debt piles up and sovereign bond spreads increase following a government spending shock. We then develop VAR evidence based on a panel of 18 countries. We find that in response to a 10% government spending increase, (1) the real effective exchange rate appreciates by 1.0% and the current account to GDP ratio deteriorates by 0.0025 on impact; (2) external debt increases by an average of 3.5% in the year following the shock; and (3) the EMBI Global spread rises by an average of 25 basis points within two years and peaks at 132 basis points 14 quarters after the shock, suggesting a higher sovereign default risk. The empirical results confirm the theoretical predictions from the general equilibrium model.

Over the past 40 years, private creditors have been the primary source of portfolio capital for developing countries, and capital flows from private creditors to developing countries have increased dramatically. The flow of capital to developing countries presents opportunities; creditors have new investment opportunities, and developing countries are able to finance investment and consumption. But financial integration has also posed challenges. Most develo ping countries still cannot borrow in international capital markets, and creditors have difficulty recovering investments after governments default due to lack of enforcement of international debt contracts. This dissertation presents three essays that examine how politics shape interactions between developing countries and private creditors in the market for sovereign lending. The first essay considers the international allocation of credit. Existing research argues that democracies are more creditworthy than autocracies, but empirical tests have failed to discover such a ``democratic advantage.'' Using a panel dataset of more than 130 developing countries between 1980 and 2000, I s how that creditors are more likely to lend to democracies than autocracies. The second essay examines a government's decision to repay its debt or default. Developing countries with close ties to developed countries expect to be bailed out after default and expectations of a bailout increase the likelihood of default. Using a panel dataset of more than 100 developing countries between 1975 and 2004, I show that developing countries with political and economic ties to developed countries are more likely to default and are more likely to secure debt relief a fter defaulting than other developing countries. The third essay analyzes debt restructuring after default. Using a game theoretic model, I show how high domestic political costs of adjustment result in favorable restructurings. I argue that mixed regimes are particularly fragile and pay higher costs of adjustment than either full-fledged democracies or autocracies. Using a new dataset on debt reschedulings during the 1980s debt crisis, I find evidence that creditors provide fa vorable restructuring terms to mixed regimes. Overall, the dissertation demonstrates how specific political factors affect creditor-debtor interactions in sovereign debt markets.

Evolution of Debt Vulnerability Classifications in Sub-Saharan African Heavily Indebted Poor Countries

This data contains debt distress vulnerability classifications for thirty Sub-Saharan African countries that have been granted debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative. At the turn of the century, heavily indebted countries (most of which were located in Sub-Saharan Africa) were granted large-scale cancellations of external debt owed to the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and African Development Bank. Since then, the debt sustainability of these countries has been closely monitored by the IMF and World Bank under the Debt Sustainability Analysis for Low Income Countries (DSA for LIC). This DSA has been conducted in Low-Income countries since 2005.

This dataset contains the external debt distress classifications for 30 Sub-Saharan African countries that have been granted debt reductions under the HIPC scheme from 2005 to 2019. If there was no DSA conducted in a year, the DSA classification of the previous year is shown.
