Income distribution determinants and public spending efficiency
Afonso, António; Schuknecht, Ludger; Tanzi, VitoIn this paper we examine the impact of public spending, education, and institutions on income distribution in advanced economies. We also assess the efficiency of public spending in redistributing income by using a DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) non-parametric approach. We find that public policies significantly affect income distribution, notably via social spending, and indirectly via high quality education/...
Public sector efficiency evidence for new EU member states and emerging markets
Afonso, António; Schuknecht, Ludger; Tanzi, VitoIn this paper we analyse public sector efficiency in the new member states of the European Union compared to that in emerging markets. After a conceptual discussion of expenditure efficiency measurement issues, we compute efficiency scores and rankings by applying a range of measurement techniques. The study finds that expenditure efficiency across new EU member states is rather diverse especially as compared t...

Quality of public finances and growth
Afonso, António; Ebert, Werner; Schuknecht, Ludger; Thone, MichaelIn this paper we review the linkages between the quality of public finances, that is, the level and composition of public expenditure and its financing via revenue and deficits, and economic growth. We review the various channels through which public finances affect growth and its underlying determinants (institutional framework, employment, savings and investment, innovation). The paper addresses the approache...
Public sector efficiency: an international comparison
Afonso, António; Schuknecht, Ludger; Tanzi, VitoWe compute public sector performance (PSP) and efficiency (PSE) indicators, comprising a composite and seven sub-indicators, for 23 industrialised countries. The first four sub-indicators are "opportunity" indicators that take into account administrative, education and health outcomes and the quality of public infrastructure and that support the rule of law and a level playing-field in a market economy. Three o...
