Hong Kong Fiscal Rules and Macroeconomic Data, 2000-2023

Hong Kong quarterly data from 2000 Q1 to 2023 Q4 used to analyze fiscal rules under a land finance pattern. The dataset supports a study employing Bayesian estimation and DSGE methods to compare the effects of exogenous, output-responsive, and debt-responsive fiscal rules. It was authored by Wenwen Zhang and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Calibrating a DSGE model based on the described quarterly macroeconomic time series.
• Comparing the performance of debt-responsive versus output-responsive fiscal rules based on the simulation results.
• Analyzing the impact of stamp duty shocks on net exports and labor markets as indicated by the variance decomposition.
• Assessing welfare outcomes under different fiscal policy regimes for Hong Kong's economy.

Strengths

• Covers a 24-year time range from 2000 Q1 to 2023 Q4.
• Data is associated with a peer-reviewed study employing Bayesian estimation methods.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 18.6 KB, indicating limited scope or aggregated summary data.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
