Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe role of decolonization in the decline of the British empire has received a great deal of attention. In comparison there has been little research or analysis of the process of dedominionization affecting Australia and the other dominions. During the Second World War economic ties were seriously weakened and there were substantial conflicts over economic policy between the British and Australian governments. Australia refused to reduce imports in order to conserve foreign exchange, thus contributing to the United Kingdom's debt burden. The Australian government insisted that the British guarantee Australia's sterling balances and refused to adopt the stringent fiscal policies requested by the Bank of England and the British treasury. Australia also took the opportunity to expand domestic manufacturing industry at the expense of British manufacturers. Economic separation and conflict were complemented by political and strategic differences. In particular, the Australian government realized that British military priorities made it impossible for the United Kingdom to defend Australia. This led the Australians towards a policy of cooperating with the British embargo on Japan, only to the extent that this would be unlikely to provoke Japanese military retaliation. In general, the Australians preferred a policy of compromise in the Far East to one of deterrence preferred by the British.

Abstract:
Abstract This article challenges the focus on budget deficits that permeates the literature on the comparative political economy of fiscal policy. It analyzes countries running budget surpluses and asks why some preserved these surpluses while others did not. Whereas several OECD members recorded surpluses for just a few years, balanced budgets became the norm in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, New Zealand and Sweden in the late 1990s. The article compares both types of countries. Focusing on Canada and Sweden, it argues that a path-dependent shift in the balance of power among competing fiscal policy coalitions explains why surpluses persisted in one group of countries but not in the other. This reconfiguration of fiscal conflict was triggered by a deep fiscal crisis and an ensuing expenditure-led consolidation. It can be interpreted as creating a ‘surplus regime,’ in which fiscal policy became structured around the goals of balancing the budget and cutting taxes.

Abstract:
This thesis comprises three papers that examine the role of income tax policy in Australia within the broader fiscal system. The first paper (Chapter 2) studies trends in the Australian personal income tax system's progressivity after the introduction of "A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999". It measures tax progressivity based on tax liability distribution across the income distribution using the Suits index. The index shows that Australia experienced a cycle of increasing and decreasing progressivity from 2001-2016. Active tax policy with frequent adjustments to income brackets, marginal rates, and offset levels made the tax system more progressive before 2010, while inactive tax policy made it less progressive after 2010. This decline is due to the income tax code failing to adjust for income distribution changes. The paper finds that while indexing tax brackets to inflation can partially mitigate the decline in progressivity; it is not a full substitute for (annual) frequent discretionary adjustments to the tax code. The second paper (Chapter 3) builds on the empirical findings in Chapter 2 and asks a broader question on the optimal design of the income tax system in Australia. To do so, it builds a dynamic general equilibrium, overlapping generations (OLG) model with skill heterogeneity and uninsurable labor productivity risk, calibrated to match the key features of the Australian economy. The paper applies the model to search for the personal income tax system's optimal progressivity, relying on a utilitarian social welfare criterion. Results indicate that reducing the income tax system's progressivity reduces distortions on incentives to work and save, leading to improvements in aggregate efficiency and welfare. Under the welfare criterion, the optimal tax system is proportional with a tax rate of around 14 percent. The income tax system's optimal progressivity level is closely related to the design of a means-tested pension system. Interestingly, the optimal proportional tax code is robust to alternative means-tested age pension system designs. The third paper (Chapter 4) moves from the welfare implications of income tax design to examining the fiscal limits to which the government could use the income tax system to raise tax revenues. It quantifies the fiscal space (the amount of additional tax revenue that can be potentially generated) by changing the progressivity and average level of taxation (tax level) of the Australian income tax code. Using an OLG model that matches key aggregate and distributional statistics of the Australian economy, it examines the Laffer curves for income tax progressivity and tax level in Australia. The peak of the Laffer curve defines the fiscal limit. The paper finds that tax revenue increases when the tax code's curvature decreases (becomes less progressive). The income tax code's fiscal limit is with a flat income tax code at a tax rate of 95%. The associated fiscal space represents a 208% increase in income tax revenue. However, in general equilibrium, as the income tax rate increases, after-tax incomes decrease, leading to large reductions in consumption and, in turn, consumption tax revenue. As a result, the total tax revenue gain is significantly lower at 126%. The paper also highlights the advantage of Australia being a small open economy when it comes to the revenue maximizing potential of income tax. The adverse incentive effects on household savings due to rising tax rates are mitigated by foreign capital inflows, preventing aggregate capital stock decline. The paper contrasts the small open economy case with the closed economy case that results in a Laffer curve peak at 60% and a smaller fiscal space of 116%.

Abstract:
Prudent management of the coastal zone is of major importance given that competition for coastal resource use is being intensified by increasing population pressure and the impending impacts of climate change. Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) is internationally regarded as the best-practice approach for the planning and management of coastal resource use. ICM espouses effective integration between governing bodies. However, numerous Australian government inquiries and academic literature on coastal zone management have concluded that ICM has been difficult to implement in Australia, with intergovernmental integration particularly elusive. Whilst Australia’s federal system of government has been implicated in this, studies have not explicitly addressed the nature of the relationship between Australian federalism and intergovernmental integration between the local, state and federal spheres. Thus, the aim of this study was to generate a theory as to why ICM, particularly intergovernmental integration, has been so difficult to implement in Australia. The study, employing elements of grounded theory and comparative case study methodology, was designed to explore the relationship between federalism and intergovernmental integration based on the experiences of coastal managers and decision-makers responsible for coastal management ‘on-the-ground’. Three natural resource management (NRM) case study regions in South Australia were selected: Eyre Peninsula, South East, and Adelaide & Mount Lofty Ranges. The nature of Australia’s federal system of government and the functions and capacity of the three spheres – local, state and federal – were also explored via literature review and document analysis. Primary data collection was accomplished via thirty three in-depth, semi-structured interviews with local government staff and elected representatives, NRM Board staff and SA government ‘Department for Environment’ staff with responsibilities for coastal management and/or decision-making. Interview questions revolved around interviewees’ perceptions of the roles and responsibilities of each sphere of government; financial arrangements for funding coastal management; and the level of intergovernmental integration. Constant comparative analysis elicited themes from interview transcripts. Triangulation of interview data with secondary data obtained via literature review and document analysis verified interview data and scaffolded theory development. Two prominent themes emerged from the analysis of participants’ perceptions regarding the roles and responsibilities of the three spheres of government: disempowerment and intergovernmental tension. Synthesis of interview data with secondary data revealed two fundamental issues underpinning these themes at both the local and state level: 1) asymmetries in responsibility relative to capacity and 2) a lack of autonomy. Understanding of these issues was enhanced by examining the evolving role of the federal government within the Australian federation, whereby Australia’s practice of fiscal federalism has resulted in fiscal centralisation characterised by a large vertical fiscal imbalance between the federal and state spheres and a comparative lack of fiscal autonomy at the state government level. Fiscal centralisation poses a significant barrier to the operation of effective cooperative federalism in Australia. Thus, this thesis theorises that fiscal centralisation is a significant barrier to meaningful integration between the spheres of government involved in coastal management in Australia.

Abstract:
A general equilibrium model is established to evaluate fiscal policy in Taiwan, particularly the replacement of the sales tax by a value-added tax. To begin, the major taxes levied in Taiwan are identified and briefly described. Based on this descriptive analysis, we can make assumptions concerning tax incidence for Taiwan's major taxes within a general equilibrium framework; and the effective tax rates, by type of tax, by family income class, are calculated. Then, a general equilibrium computation algorithm is applied to convert an abstract representation of an economy into an operational model The results are obtained by comparing the solutions between before- and after-tax equilibrium in nonlinear equations system. The main conclusions show that (1) the relative prices of goods, in general, only have a small change; and (2) the efficiency gain in production and total welfare gain are both small as well

Abstract:
Historically on a global scale and in South Africa it was common practice for mining operators to abandon a mine once the mineral extraction on site was completed. The operators had no obligation to rehabilitate the land and in most cases the disturbed areas were abandoned with no regard for the residual impacts that the site may present or the continued environmental deterioration. This represents the mining legacy of many countries, particularly in South Africa. The continual underestimations in financial provisioning for premature mine closure, leads to the continual abandonment of mining sites. Abandoned mines and the resultant legacy of environmental pollution are of major concern as literature indicates that there are around 6000 abandoned sites in South Africa. The problem is that no-one is currently taking responsibility for these sites as the Minister for Mineral Resources has stated that the South African government would not take the liability onto them. With this being said the burden still falls on the state as the mining companies responsible for the pollution may no longer exist or have the finances to carry out post-closure rehabilitation to ensure that the site no longer poses a threat to the environment. To address a similar problem, Western Australia has implemented the Mining Rehabilitation Fund Act 33 (2012) which delegates due responsibility for abandoned sites. The act provides for a government administered pooled fund into which all current mining operators pay an annual levy. The funds are used to rehabilitate abandoned mining areas, alleviating the burden of government to solely fund their rehabilitation. The aim of this research is, therefore, to investigate the viability of Western Australia‟s Mining Rehabilitation Fund as a fiscal policy solution for the rehabilitation of South African abandoned mines. To achieve this aim, three lines of inquiry are pursued. Firstly, to “identify the challenges related to abandonment of mine sites in South Africa,” secondly “to compare the legal provisions for abandoned mine sites management in South Africa with that of Western Australia, specifically the rehabilitation fund” and lastly “to investigate how such a policy will be received by stakeholders in the South African mining industry.” The research was approached from a pragmatic philosophical stance. A qualitative dominant mixed methods research approach with an embedded design is used for data analysis. The strategies of inquiry consist of a literature review, comparative analysis and open-ended interview questions which provide qualitative data and structured survey questions which produces quantitative data. Surveys were carried out with selected stakeholders to investigate how such a policy will be received in the South African mining industry. The methods employed for the analyses of data consist of a scoping and literature review, coding and categorising, a comparative analysis, the identification of themes and analytical evaluation of survey data. An article format was chosen for the presentation of results and is presented in chapter 4. The challenges related to the abandonment of mine sites in South Africa are related to skills shortages, poor enforcement of existing legislation and an out of date Guideline document for the evaluation of the quantum of closure related financial provision (DME, 2005). The comparison of the legal provisions for abandoned mine sites management in South Africa with that of Western Australia, highlighted that both frameworks have the intention to protect the environment and promote sustainable mining but as can be seen in South Africa, even if the intentions of the legislation is good, it has limited value without proper implementation and enforcement. The results indicate a general feeling of stakeholders that such a policy is necessary and will be beneficial, but the respondents have doubts in the ability of the South African government to enforce the law. They also felt that it was unfair to hold the current mining operators responsible for the heedless actions of the previous miners and ruling party.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the nature of homelessness from rough sleeping to lack of secure accommodation. It examines changing government policy over the past fifty years. Governments have got out of the business of building and renting low-cost houses, ended rent control, and pursued fiscal policies encouraging not only home ownership and second homes, but a new rentier class. Tax incentives encourage buying to let or even leaving property empty for investment purposes. This pushes up house prices, creating a generation who have little prospect of ever owning their own home. It has also created insecure and transient housing for the poor and a tranche of rough sleepers with no roof over their heads. The chapter investigates this process in the USA, UK and Australia, contrasting with a case study of how Finland has successfully dealt with its homelessness problem.

Abstract:
Faced with increasingly serious climate and environmental problems, the green transformation of the energy structure is imminent. Energy development is related to a country’s economic lifeline, and the level of energy green transition is a key factor in determining the degree of low-carbon economic development. As an important way to internalize the externalities of environmental behavior, the degree of perfection of economic policies has a direct impact on the energy transition process. As an important means to promote the adjustment of energy structure, economic policies can internalize the positive or negative externalities of corporate environmental behaviors, and play an unparalleled role in the process of promoting the green transformation of energy. This article takes Germany, France, Japan, and Australia as the research objects of the four countries with relatively advanced energy transition economic policy systems, and fully analyzes the above-mentioned countries’ practices in fiscal and taxation policies, green finance, and market systems, and combines China’s energy transition economic policies. Implementation status, and corresponding suggestions for the construction of China’s energy transition policy system.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents projections for 18 Latin America and Caribbean countries of pensions and health expenditures over the next 50 years, compares them to advanced countries, and calculates estimates of the fiscal gap due to aging. The exercise is crucial since life expectancy is increasing and fertility rates are declining in virtually all advanced countries and many developing countries, but more so in Latin America and the Caribbean. While the populations of many of the regions countries are still relatively young, they are aging more rapidly than those in more developed countries. The fiscal implications of these demographic trends are severe. The paper proposes policy and institutional reforms that could begin to be implemented immediately and that could help moderate these trends in light of relevant international experience to date. It suggests that LAC countries need to include an intertemporal numerical fiscal limit or rule to the continuous increase in aging spending while covering the needs of the more vulnerable. They should consider also complementing public pensions with voluntary contribution mechanisms supported by tax incentives, such as those used in Australia, New Zealand (Kiwi Saver), and the United States (401k). In addition, LAC countries face an urgent challenge in curbing the growth of health care costs, while improving the quality of care. Efforts should focus on improving both the allocative and the technical efficiency of public health spending.
