AnalysisAnalysisWe took the previous 20 year data of all 5 parameters of fiscalpolicy (described in previous slides) and got the equation tocalculate Net Current Account is as follows:
NCA = -68444.6 -1.066 Td+ 0.90 Ti -0.419 Rex + 0.853 Cex +0.700 S
Finding - Revenue- expenditure (Rex) and subsidy(S) ; and indirect
(Ti) and direct taxes (Td) are highly correlated.
In such case there will be error in distinguishing the independenteffect of each variable.

We performed the regression again and derived theequation as:
NCA = -12573.3 -.074 T - 0.212 Rex+ 1.292 Cex

Now we studied the impact of fiscal policy variables on majoringredients (Merchandise and Invisible account) of net currentbalance. (Again performed the regression twice for it.)
The effect of capital expenditure, revenue expenditure and totaltax
on merchandise output can be described as:
MA = 32160-.481 T - 0.264 Rex+ 1.579 Cex
And on the invisibles account as:
IA = -44733.9+.407 T + 0.052 Rex 0.287 Cex

ConclusionConclusion Association between fiscal policy and the emergence or
unwinding of large external imbalances is limited. Changesin fiscal policy are indeed associated with changes in thecurrent account, but the relationship is far less than one-for-one.
Tax, which constitutes direct and indirect tax, has very lesssignificance in determining the change in the total currentaccount (as a whole) of India.
but when we decompose the constituents of current accountas merchandise account and invisible account and find thesignificance of tax in determining them, we find it to besubstantial.

Conclusion - Effect onConclusion - Effect onMerchandise and invisible accountMerchandise and invisible account
Total Tax and capital expenditure are most critical indetermining the Total Merchandise value and individualaccount.
Revenue expenditure is not much accurate predictor for
these accounts. If Total tax increases by 1%, total merchandise value
decreases by 0.481%, whereas invisible account increasesby 0.407%.
if Capital expenditure increases by 1%, total merchandiseincreases by 1.579% whereas invisible account decreasesby 0.287%.
