To answer this question, we use a panel data set of nine OECD countries for the period 1981-2017 and arrive at the following main results under revenue-neutral conditions: First, the most growth-damaging tax is the corporate income tax, followed by the personal income tax. Second, a shift from income taxes to consumption taxes is associated with higher growth, while a shift from social security contributions and property taxes to payroll & workforce taxes has significant negative effects on growth. Overall, our results confirm the view that revenue-neutral tax reforms focusing on a shift from income taxation to consumption and property taxation would promote growth.","PeriodicalId":51737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Policy Reform","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44056594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By using the questionnaire that is only available in the 2002-2006 survey, policy consistency is measured by firms’ perception of the degree of consistency in officials’ interpretation of the law. Bribery reduces the consistency of policy implementation. The adverse impact of bribery on policy consistency is evident only in lower-income countries. Furthermore, these effects become more significant for firms facing institutional and credit constraints.","PeriodicalId":51737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Policy Reform","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41515820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the experience with auto enrollment is much different in Poland. This paper examines the argument that inertia is not a strong force when workers distrust in the security of future pension benefits. We present a simple conceptual framework where trust affects the subjective probability distribution of workers relating to future pension benefits. We investigate how this framework might explain the high opt-out rate in Poland.","PeriodicalId":51737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Policy Reform","volume":"26 1","pages":"216 - 237"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43581293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It contributes to complexity thinking in public policy. Complexity involves self-organization, emergence, feedback loops, and adaptation. We show that these are present with cyberthreats. In contrast to plans that involve a series of linear steps to a specific outcome, complexity thinking recommends adaptive design, which creates processes that involve coordinated decentralized capacity for experimentation and resilience. These are illustrated with an examination of the 2007 nation-wide cyberattack on Estonia and the lessons learned from this attack.","PeriodicalId":51737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Policy Reform","volume":"26 1","pages":"283 - 297"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47596961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
