( 2022, Vol. 42 No.3 ) |

The purpose of the study is to examine to effect of fiscal transparency on financial instability in emerging and developing countries. On the top of the usual country-specific variables proposed by literature, the role of fiscal transparency is for the first time examined and found to be negative and significant beyond a certain threshold, confirming an inverted U-shaped relationship between fiscal transparency and financial instability. Our result has implications on the design of fiscal policy and on the fight against financial instability. |
