Louca, Ch. Tax and Benefit Reform in the Transition Economies.

If, a country reforms its tax and expenditure system at the same time as it pursues general transition reforms, the theoretical case for reforms resulting in fiscal pressure is weakened, because the efficiency of tax collection increases (see e.g., Ambrus-Lakatos and Schaffer, 1997).  This issue is related also to a broader theme concerning the quality of governance/public sector in transition economies.  This is reflected in the analysis of fiscal policy through the link to tax evasion, with the possibility that fiscal deficits arise where revenue collection is poor and tax evasion is rampant (Johnson, Kaufmann and Shleifer (1997) have collected information about the share of informal economy in transition economies).  Regarding growth determinants in cross-country comparisons, the overall quality of government and institutional environment have attracted increasing importance (see Havrylyshyn and van den Rooden (2000) for the study of these issues in transition economies).  Evidence from transition countries suggests that such an analysis undertaken by our research team would certainly be worthwhile also in the context of fiscal policy.
