Résumé

The aim of this paper is to study empirically the relationship between political governance and public debt by testing a number of hypotheses. We examine the effects of the dispersion of power on public debt from an econometric study carried out on a sample of thirteen developed countries for macroeconomic and political data covering the period 1996-2012. It comes out that the lack of consensus between the political parties in the government coalition and the dispersion of power within the government are factors explaining the increase in public debt.
