Toglhofer, 2005), which set a threshold for the cash deficit of the federal government at a
level of 2.5% of GDP.
In a next step we ask whether cyclically adjusted spending and revenues (as a share of
nominal potential GDP) react in a specific pro- or counter-cyclical manner. Our
estimation results indicate a relatively strong pro-cyclical discretionary response of the
cyclically adjusted revenues to the cycle (see Figure 4.5 and 4.6).
