The Swedish Experiment
分析了瑞典自1970年左右经济表现恶化的原因,包括外部冲击、政策失误以及1960年代末至1970年代初政府支出、税收和监管急剧扩张带来的制度性变化,并探讨了近期改革与退出的背景。
The deterioration of economic performance in Sweden from about 1970 was to some extent result of a number of exogenous shocks and unnecessary policy mistakes. It was, however, also related to basic changes in economic and social system in Sweden in late 1960s and early 1970, when government spending, taxes, and regulations started to expand dramatically. It is also argued in paper that problematic political, economic, and social mechanisms had become embedded in long-term dynamics of system itself. These various experiences are background for recent reforms and retreats of the Swedish experiment.
