Many books have been published about various aspects of transition economies in the last decade and a half. However, most of them either have not addressed public finance at all, or have devoted only a chapter or two to the subject. This volume assembles a stellar group of experts to address the current issues in their fields. Topics include bureaucracy, corruption and tax compliance; public finance in developing economies; taxation in numerous countries and developing areas.
