The Introduction and three other chapters  are on broad macro-economic issues, and four `sectoral' chapters  follow these on such questions as the fiscal impact of pensions,  health reform, taxation and agricultural policies. A comprehensive  analysis of tax systems and of the major elements of public social  expenditures (pensions and health care systems) is presented. This  analysis helps to identify the key factors determining the present  size of governments and the need for, and prospects of, fiscal  adjustment. In addition, a comparison of fiscal policy is carried out,  followed by a long-term fiscal projection until year 2010. \u003cbr\u003e  The book is relevant to academics in macroeconomics, European studies  and transition economics, as well as in public finance and public  policy sciences. It should also appeal to a significant professional  audience. Policy makers and economists interested in the accession  process in EU countries - at ministries, National Banks, research  departments of banks, international organizations (the EU Commission,  World Bank, IMF, OECD) - will have a strong interest in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792378280\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1709-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 237\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382580306060,"sku":"9780792378280","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792378280.jpg?v=1770789112","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792378280","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
