1 Using Stock Returns to Identify Shocks to Government Spending Jonas D.M. Fisher Ryan Peters Chicago Fed Atlanta Fed Fiscal Policy Conference, January 8-9, 21
2 Motivation What is the G multiplier? Use response to G shocks to test models Two approaches lead to different answers VAR innovations to G, Blanchard and Perotti(22): G Y, H, C, W /P Historical narrative, Ramey and Shapiro (1998): G Y, H C, W /P
3 Motivation Drawbacks to both approaches VAR innovations: Ramey (28) critique Narrative strategy: few observations, all increases, assume certainty, inherently subjective Seek alternative immune to Ramey critique, with more observations, increases and decreases, incorporating uncertainty, less subjective Uhlig and Mountford (25): sign restriction approach satisfies these criteria
4 Alternative Approach Low frequency swings in military spending: Korean War, Vietnam War, Carter-Reagan Buildup, End of Cold War, 9/11 [spending] Anticipated military build ups should be reflected in stock returns of military contractors Explore using innovations in excess returns of military contractors to identify spending shocks Key findings: Multiplier = 1.5 G Y, H, C W /P then

Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions.
