Public Finance and Inclusive Growth

What is public finance and how does it affect people's lives?

Do governments spend too much? 
Many European countries seem close to the point where higher rates lower revenue by generating large economic distortions and strong disincentives for compliance.

Can tax and spending reform promote inclusive growth?
Yes, in a number of ways. There is potential for win-win reforms that boost output and enhance income equality at the same time.
