Abstract

The links between fiscal policy, investment, and growth are complex. Changes in the overall fiscal balance as well as in the structure of expenditure and taxation have important implications for investment and growth. This section examines the influences of each of these elements in turn over the recent reform period, before looking at the issue of center-state relations.
