Abstract
The possibility to use fiscal policy tools to improve overall economic conditions has been a strong raising interest in the economic debate over the last decade. Traditionally, theoretical literature on taxation effects is more involved in equity than in efficiency and structural effects of different tax systems. Quantitative studies in this field have been mainly concerned with issues such as aggregate control of demand and supply, external unbalances and so on, while analyses using sectorial models of economy have been focused on short-term effects of fiscal policy on industrial cost-price system and competitiveness.
Luigi Paganetto, has developed the economic aspects of this paper; Martino Lo Cascio has conceived the analysis model; Margherita Carlucci has carried out functions’ specifications, estimates and model’s solutions, writing paragraph 2.
