Fiscal heterogeneity and economic growth: Evidence from dynamic panel models and clustering in the European Union

This dataset contains cleaned and harmonized Eurostat data used to analyze the relationship
between public spending composition, fiscal constraints, and economic growth across the
27 current EU member states over the period 1996–2023.
Public spending composition plays a key role in shaping economic growth across EU member states.

Health expenditure is associated with robust and state-dependent short-run growth effects.

Education spending shows limited contemporaneous growth effects, suggesting longer-term transmission channels.

Fiscal constraints and net lending conditions significantly influence the effectiveness of public expenditure.

Strong cross-country heterogeneity in fiscal structures and growth dynamics characterizes the European Union.

本数据集包含经清洗与口径统一处理的欧洲统计局（Eurostat）数据，用于分析1996年至2023年期间，欧盟（EU）当前27个成员国的公共支出结构、财政约束与经济增长之间的关联。
公共支出结构对欧盟成员国的经济增长具有关键塑造作用。
卫生支出与稳健且状态依存的短期增长效应相关联。
教育支出仅表现出有限的即期增长效应，暗示其增长效应存在长期传导渠道。
财政约束与净借贷状况会显著影响公共支出的实施效果。
欧盟范围内的财政结构与增长动态呈现出显著的跨国异质性。
