Abstract

The paper analyses Political Budget Cycles in the context of a young post-communist democracy, Serbia. The authors deploy well-established methodological (time series) approaches to examine the general government budget balance (fiscal deficit) in conjunction with elections. The findings suggest that there is clear evidence of higher fiscal deficit prior to elections-however, this is the case only for regular (scheduled) elections and not so for snap (early called) elections. The paper contributes to the PBC literature by revealing different incumbent behaviour in regular versus early elections, thus highlighting the importance of distinguishing between these types of elections in the domain of PBC research.

早期与定期选举中的政治预算周期：以塞尔维亚为例。

本文分析了年轻的后共产主义民主国家塞尔维亚的政治预算周期。作者运用成熟的方法论（时间序列）方法，结合选举来检查一般政府预算平衡（财政赤字）。调查结果表明，有明确证据表明，在选举前财政赤字会增加。然而，只有定期（预定）选举才会出现这种情况，而临时（提前召集）选举则不然。该论文通过揭示现任总统在定期选举和提前选举中的不同行为，为PBC文献做出了贡献，从而强调了在PBC研究领域区分这些类型选举的重要性。

期刊介绍： Comparative Economic Studies is a journal of the Association for Comparative Economic Studies (ACES). It aims to publish papers that address several objectives: that provide original political economy analysis from a comparative perspective, that are an accessible source for state-of-the-art comparative economics thinking, that encourage cross-fertilization of ideas, that debate directions for future research in comparative economics, and that can provide materials and insights that are relevant for teaching, public policy debate and the media. Comparative Economic Studies welcome both submissions that are explicitly comparative and case studies of single countries or regions. The journal is interested in papers that investigate how economic systems respond to economic transitions, crises and to structural change, brought about by globalization, demographics, institutions, technology, politics, and the environment. While maintaining its position as an important outlet for work on Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union, the scope of Comparative Economic Studies encompasses other areas as well (European Union, Asia, Latin America, and Africa).
