Ekonomiska kriser och krisberedskap i Sverige

Jonung, Lars LU (2019) In Knut Wicksell Policy paper 1: 2019. p.1-13
Abstract
This study discusses economic crises and crisis preparedness in Sweden. The message may be summarized in four points: (i) economic crises are a recurrent element in Swedish economic history, (ii) economic crises have far-reaching political effects, (iii) economic crises change the design of economic policies and institutions, and (iv) new crises will occur in the future. A major method to prepare for the next financial crisis is to have sufficient fiscal space given by a government debt-to-GDP ratio of 20-30 percent, lower than the present debt ratio. Such a debt anchor will make it possible to counter the next financial crisis by expansionary fiscal policy.
