Fiscal Policies and Political Economy

Decisions about the amount and type of goods and services to produce, as well as how best to produce them, are often political in nature and based on a country's social and cultural context. While some governments choose to outsource a large portion of the production of goods and services to non-governmental or private entities, others choose to produce the goods and services themselves.
