Managing the Effects of Tax Expenditures on National Budgets
Abstract: "Tax expenditures, in the form of tax provisions, are government expenditures. They are conceptually and functionally distinct from those tax provisions whose purpose is to raise revenue. Tax expenditure programs are comparable to entitlement programs. Therefore, tax expenditures must be analyzed in spending terms and integrated into the budgetary process to ensure fiscal accountability. In addition, tax expenditures must be audited for performance and the information must be published (with comprehensive analysis) to ensure fiscal transparency. The author analyzes the concept and definition, size, and effects of tax expenditures, as well as the fiscal accountability and transparen...
Government versus Markets
Vito Tanzi offers a truly comprehensive treatment of the economic role of the state in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries from a historical and world perspective. The book addresses the fundamental question of what governments should do, or have attempted to do, in economic activities in past and recent periods. It also speculates on what they are likely or may be forced to do in future years. The investigation assembles a large set of statistical information that should prove useful to policy-makers and scholars in the perennial discussion of government's optimal economic roles. It will become an essential reference work on the analytical borders between the market and the state, and on what a reasonable 'exit strategy' from the current fiscal crises should be.
Tax Expenditure Management
Locates tax expenditure management within the broader discourse of liberal democratic political theory.
Structural Reforms in Southeastern Europe Since the Kosovo Conflict
This study examines the progress made by the countries of south-east Europe (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Romania, and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) towards implementing structural economic reforms in the three years since the end of the Kosovo conflict, as well as considering the challenges that lie ahead. It discusses four key areas of reform: strengthening public finances and fighting corruption; creating a liberal trade environment; encouraging foreign investment; and fostering the growth of private markets.
Non-Fiscal Tax Policies and State Sovereignty
In this interdisciplinary book, Giulio Allevato explores how the non-fiscal function of the taxing power has contributed to the establishment, consolidation, and maintenance of an effective power to govern in modern nation states. Innovative in its historical approach, this book illustrates how the link between non-budgetary tax policies and state sovereignty continues to play out in the current global landscape.
Poverty or Prosperity?
A collection of essays by leading economists on how different tax regimes affect the overall prosperity of a country. The UK faces shrinking tax revenues and additional public spending demands, while taxpayers, jobs and investment can move to lower cost economies. The authors in this book argue these problems can be surmounted, if the tax system reflects supply and demand, as well as responding to social, cultural and political pressures. Taxes that penalise incentive and hold back economic growth should be avoided, as should those which deter saving and investment, and those which are too complex. Within this framework, it is possible to respond to added pressures to expand public services or for more spending on benefits.
The New Public Finance
Globalisation has meant the closer integration of countries and a greater need for collective action. This book, which contains 24 essays from contributors from around the world, provides one of the first systematic treatments of public finance in this new era. It deals with such topics as: increasing aid efficiency; public-private cooperation and competition; and taking the outside world into consideration.
