| Summary |
This volume is an authoritative and compre-hensive guide to major economic policy issues in Denmark. Leading Danish and international economists discuss, in comparative context, the Danish economy's performance since the 1960s, and assess the challenges that Denmark - in common with other small, open economies - faces in the global economy. A major feature is the combination of academic analysis with policy-making experience and expertise. The contributors use up-to-date methodology and the most recent empirical evidence to study current macroeconomic performance and prospects. Topical policy areas addressed include the impact of European Monetary Union on nations like Denmark that choose to remain outside; the impact of recent and proposed radical tax reforms; government fiscal policy and debt reduction; and the economic impact and viability of the welfare state. The book will appeal to students and practitioners of economic policy in Scandinavia and beyond |
