Ülevaade
Uurimisrühma liikmete teadustöö põhisuunaks on aktuaalsed majanduspoliitilised probleemid, mis mõjutavad majanduslikku tulemuslikkust kiirelt muutuvas majanduskeskkonnas. Rühma liikmete eesmärgiks on identifitseerida võtmelise tähtsusega seoseid nii mikro- kui ka makrotasandil, tuvastada uusi majanduspoliitilisi probleeme ning töötada välja uusi poliitilisi meetmeid majandusliku tulemuslikkuse parandamiseks. Peamised uurimisvaldkonnad on makromajanduslik stabiilsus, rahvusvahelised majandussidemed, fiskaalne jätkusuutlikkus, inflatsioon, ootuste kujunemine ja finantsstabiilsus.Suurem osa uurimistöödest on empiirilised ning selge rakendusliku majanduspoliitilise fookusega. Uurimustes kasutatakse kaasaegset ökonomeetrilist metoodikat ja avalikke või mitteavalikke andmebaase. Rühma liikmete kompetentsid täiendavad osaliselt üksteist, kuna osad rühmaliikmed keskenduvad kõrgetasemelistele ökonomeetrilistele meetoditele, osad kaasaegsele majandusanalüüsile ja osad majanduspoliitikale orienteeritud uurimustele.
Tähtsamad tulemused
2023. aastal töötati mitmete majandusliku tulemuslikkuse seisukohalt oluliste projektide kallal:• fookuseks oli inflatsiooni mõju fiskaalsetele tulemustele, projekt on otseselt seotud inflatsiooni tõusuga alates 2022. aastast ja ebakindla fiskaalsituatsiooniga mitmes Euroopa Liidu riigis. • käsitleti regulatsiooni mõju Eesti pankade laenumahtudele, adresseerides taas finantsstabiilsuse ja majanduskasvu jaoks võtmetähtsusega teemasid. • käsitleti makroökonoomiliste arengute ootuste kujunemist Euroopa Liidu riikides. Analüüsis selgus, et indiviidid kujundavad ootusi, mis ei ole kooskõlas majandusteooriaga. Antud tulemus võib olla oluline poliitikakujundamisel.
