520 _aThe paper considers the austerity measures introduced in the wake of the financialand economic crisis in the late 2000s in relation to their distributional impact acrosshouseholds and potential effects on aggregate demand.We determine the size, composition and effects of fiscal consolidation using a .bottom-up. measurement strategy and find notable cross-country variation. We show that while richer households tend to bear a greater burden in most countries,combined cuts in public wages and transfers are more likely to affect liquidity-constrained households and thereby aggregate demand, casting doubts on the presumed effectiveness of such measures for macro-economic recovery. This suggests that in order to reach robust policy conclusions it is important to consider the distributional patterns of detailed policy measures.
