      abstract = {The aim of this article is to show the effect of the budget deficit on the dynamics of middle-income economies. We have applied a dynamic model on panel data with threshold effect estimation. To achieve this, we estimated the said model using the system generalized method of moments (GMM). The results of the linear model reveal that an increase in the budget deficit has a negative impact on economic dynamics, measured by the output gap with a coefficient of 0.2%. On the other hand, the results of the non-linear model enable us to determine the optimal budget deficit threshold, which has a positive impact on economic activity in these economies, at around 3.5% of GDP. These results imply that policy-makers should apply revenue rules that are generally associated with principles for the allocation of unplanned additional tax revenues, known as growth dividends. They are based on the idea that these dividends should not be used to finance additional public spending, but to reduce the budget deficit.},
