Labor Productivity Growth Rates; References; Appendix 330 3 $aThis paper offers possible explanations for three generally observed facts about fiscal policy and development: (F1) The relative size of government increases as an economy develops, (F2) The rise in government and taxation are associated with rising or constant economic growth rates, and (F3) Today's developing countries have larger government sectors than did today's developed countries at similar stages of development. The explanations for these facts are based on the structural transformation from traditional (mostly agricultural) to modern (industrial and post-industrial) production, rising public infrastructure investment, and less representative governments in many of today's developing economies. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/155 606 $aFiscal policy$xEconometric models 606 $aEconomic development$xEconometric models 606 $aEconomic development$2imf 606 $aEconomic growth$2imf 606 $aHuman Capital$2imf 606 $aIncome economics$2imf 606 $aIndustrial Organization and Macroeconomics: Industrial Structure and Structural Change$2imf 606 $aIndustrial Price Indices$2imf 606 $aLabor economics$2imf 606 $aLabor Economics: General$2imf 606 $aLabor Productivity$2imf 606 $aLabor productivity$2imf 606 $aLabor share$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: Infrastructures$2imf 606 $aOccupational Choice$2imf 606 $aOther Public Investment and Capital Stock$2imf 606 $aProduction and Operations Management$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aPublic investment spending$2imf 606 $aPublic investments$2imf 606 $aSkills$2imf 606 $aStructural transformation$2imf 606 $aWages$2imf 606 $aWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: General$2imf 607 $aUnited States$2imf 615 0$aFiscal policy$xEconometric models. 615 0$aEconomic development$xEconometric models. 615 7$aEconomic development 615 7$aEconomic growth 615 7$aHuman Capital 615 7$aIncome economics 615 7$aIndustrial Organization and Macroeconomics: Industrial Structure and Structural Change 615 7$aIndustrial Price Indices 615 7$aLabor economics 615 7$aLabor Economics: General 615 7$aLabor Productivity 615 7$aLabor productivity 615 7$aLabor share 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: Infrastructures 615 7$aOccupational Choice 615 7$aOther Public Investment and Capital Stock 615 7$aProduction and Operations Management 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aPublic investment spending 615 7$aPublic investments 615 7$aSkills 615 7$aStructural transformation 615 7$aWages 615 7$aWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: General 676 $a336.3015195 700 $aMourmouras$b Alex$0790243 701 $aRangazas$b Peter$0790244 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961121703321 996 $aFiscal Policy and Economic Development$94372940 997 $aUNINA
