TextLanguage: English Publication details: Tokyo, Japan : United Nations University, 1989Description: ix, 350 p. : ill. ; 24 cmContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9280806963Subject(s): Fiscal policy -- Case studies | Fiscal policy -- Asia -- Case studies | Fiscal policy -- Latin America -- Case studiesDDC classification: 336.3 LOC classification: HJ2279 | .P65 1989Summary: "Currently much attention is being directed to the difficulty economic theory has had in predicting and explaining the real-life behavior of national economies. Policy makers in many countries facing fiscal problems frequently have been unable or unwilling to undertake fiscal reforms generally deemed necessary to curb inflation and promote growth. Consequently, the view has arisen that the major obstacles to sound fiscal management are often of a political rather than an economic nature.
'The Political Economy of Fiscal Policy' represents an attempt to test the applicability of this hypothesis, through a comparative study of the fiscal policy-and decision-making processes of 6 countries that, taken together, represent a broad range of political and bureaucratic systems. The results presented here constitute an important and informative contribution to a better understanding of a complex, fascinating problem in fiscal policy."
