Economic Growth and the Role of Taxation - Disaggregate Data
Economic growth is the basis of increased prosperity. This makes the attainment of growth a key objective
for governments across the world. The rate of growth can be affected by policy choices through the effect
that taxation has upon economic decisions and through productive public expenditures. This paper surveys
the empirical analysis of disaggregate data on growth. The aim is to identify how economic policy can
affect the choices that have been identified as influences upon the rate of growth.
Keywords: public policy, disaggregate data, economic growth, taxation
