緊縮政策(英語:Austerity)是一套政治經濟政策,旨在通過削減支出,增加稅收或兩者結合來減少政府預算赤字[1][2][3]。一個國家的政府若發現難以償還國家債務,便會考慮採用緊縮政策。這些政策旨在通過拉近政府收支差距來減少預算赤字,減輕還債難度。緊縮政策還能向債權人和信貸評級機構展示政府的財政紀律。
在大多數宏觀經濟學模型中,緊縮政策通常伴隨政府支出下降而使失業率上升[4][5]。削減政府支出會減少公營機構的就業機會,這亦可能發生在私營機構身上。此外,加稅可以通過減少家庭可支配收入來減少消費。有人認為減少支出可能導致更高的債務GDP比率,因為政府支出本身就是GDP的組成部分。例如在大蕭條之後,雖然預算赤字有所減少,但很多歐洲國家執行緊縮政策之後均出現了失業率上升和債務GDP比率上升的情況。
當一個經濟體在處於或接近產能狀態運作時,較高的短期赤字支出(刺激)可能會導致利率上升,導致私人投資減少,進一步壓抑經濟增長。在產能過剩的地方,刺激措施可能導致就業和產出增加[6][7]。
