The capacity of input-output tables to reflect the structural peculiarities of an economy and to forecast, on this basis, its evolution, depends essentially on the characteristics of the matrix A matrix of I-O (or technical) coefficients. However, the temporal behaviour of these coefficients is...

The paper presents theoretical considerations and empirical evidence to test the validity of the Laffer in Narrower Sense (LINS) curve as a parabola with a maximum. Attention is focused on the so-called legal-effective tax gap (letg). The econometric application is based on statistical data...

Two challenges in the literature have inspired this paper. First, the highly contradictory puzzle of debates on the “public budget–economic growth” correlation, explainable in great measure by the inadequacy of involved modeling tools (assumptions and specifications) with studied samples....

In a maximally simplified scheme, the economy is an immense network of interacting entities (individuals, households, firms, institutions, regions, countries, international unions), reducible in the last instance to an, again, huge graph of transactions (in the largest sense). Well known couples...

The paper is consacrated to the binomial “public budget-global output” from the BARS curve perspective. The first section characterizes the main conceptual premises of this approach. The second is devoted to empirical analysis, using the statistical data (1990- 2013) for Romania, an European...
