Tax setting for economic growth

Stable economic growth is an important factor for improved living standards and is a concept which has been placed at the center of the current government's economic policy agenda.

Understanding this focus and the importance of it, the Policy Hub commissioned leading academics Professor Girol Karacaoglu and Dr Victoria Plenkhanova to lead the project. Their research looked at both whether and how tax policy settings can support economic growth, given the existing academic literature and initiatives in other countries. These factors were then examined in light of the New Zealand context.
