Summary
Presenting innovative modelling approaches to the analysis of fiscal policy and government debt, this book moves beyond previous models that have relied upon the assumption that various age-specific rates and policy variables remain unchanged when it comes to generating government expenditures and tax revenues. As a result of population ageing, current policy settings in many countries are projected to lead to unsustainable levels of public debt; Tax Policy and Uncertainty explores m…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Anyone seeking to understand tax policy modeling under uncertainty will certainly want to consult this book.’
’This book develops important innovations in addressing two problems in determining short term fiscal policy according to long run fiscal projections. The first problem is the difficulty of modelling the complex interactions of macroeconomic variables that generate feedback effects from policy decisions. Second is the potential sunk costs of making irreversible tax and spending decisions in the face of significant uncertainty about future phenomena such as population ageing and climate change. The authors build their analysis carefully and in a very readable style. It should provide a useful manual for fiscal policy makers around the world.’- Ross Guest, Griffith University, Australia – ’Anyone seeking to understand tax policy modelling under uncertainty will certainly want to consult this book.’- James R. Hines Jr., University of Michigan, US
