Wealthy countries are constrained by complex regulation and taxation policies, while developing nations often face high inflation and trade taxes. In this volume, esteemed economists Takatoshi Ito and Andrew K. Rose, along with other leading experts, examine the problems and challenges facing public finance in East Asian developing countries as well as the United States and Japan. Fiscal Policy and Management in East Asia explores the inefficient tax systems of many developing countries, the relationship between public and private sector economic behavior, and the pressing issue of future obligations that governments have undertaken to provide pensions and health care for their citizens. Featuring both overviews and analyses of the countries discussed, this book will be of value to economists and policymakers seeking to understand fiscal policy in a global context. 410 0$aNBER-East Asia Seminar on Economics (Series) ;$vv. 16. 606 $aFiscal policy$zEast Asia$vCongresses 607 $aEast Asia$xEconomic policy$vCongresses 615 0$aFiscal policy 676 $a339.5/2095 701 $aIto$b Takatoshi$f1950-$0116437 701 $aRose$b Andrew$f1959-$0123580 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 712 12$aNBER-East Asia Seminar on Economics 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821383803321 996 $aFiscal policy and management in East Asia$94030710 997 $aUNINA
