| Abstract: | This thesis studies the topic of the effects of structural reforms over time. The research performed until now has suggested that the dynamic effects of reforms are clear, with neutral effects or costs in the short term, and important benefits in the medium to long term. In order to verify this seemingly settled view, this thesis tests the robustness of a well-established research paper on this topic by using an extended dataset and performing modifications to the measurement of several variables in the underlying model. Our results do not confirm the usual hypotheses, showing effects that are mostly not statistically or practically significant. |
