| Sumario: | In this paper, we examine the effect of public debt on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 15 Latin American economies for fifty years. The short-run impact of debt on GDP growth is positive, but it is closer to zero beyond public debt-to-GDP ratios between 64 and 71% (i.e. up to this threshold, additional debt has a stimulating impact on growth). In the long-run, the threshold is between 95% and 97%. |
