Existing economic literature provides empirical support for the validity and applicability of the Fiscal Theory of the Price Level across various national economies.

The analysis

The retrieved papers include studies (such as [0] and [1]) that specifically test and find empirical support for the Fiscal Theory of the Price Level (FTPL) in historical and cross-country contexts. The other papers in the list are largely tangential (focusing on different monetary channels, regional economics, algorithm forecasting, or environmental policy), meaning there is no direct refutation of the claim in the provided corpus, and the supporting papers substantiate the theory's empirical relevance.
