Measuring the Costs and Coverage of SME and Entrepreneurship Policy: A Pioneering Study
首次记录了评估瑞典中小企业与创业政策纳税人成本的方法,并比较了支出模式与专家表达的政策重点,发现两者存在重要分歧,可能意味着支出优先事项与政治言论不匹配。
This paper documents a methodology used to assess, for the first time, the costs to the taxpayer of small and medium enterprise (SME) and entrepreneurship policy in Sweden. It then uses that data to compare the resulting expenditure patterns with the focus of policy as expressed by experts. It finds important areas where the two diverge, implying a possible mismatch between expenditure priorities and political rhetoric. This approach is then extended beyond Sweden to include Poland, Austria, and the Flanders region of Belgium to demonstrate the application of the approach to other countries and regions.
