This paper empirically assesses determinants of countries' fiscal rules suggested by the political
science, sociology, and economics literature. We find several of these variables to be related to
the stringency of fiscal rules, providing indirect evidence for the relevance of governments' deficit
bias. These determinants may also serve as instruments in models with (endogenous) fiscal rules
as explanatory variable.
