Growth and Public Sector in OECD Countries

In April 1994 Christer Löfgren was given the mission to analyze the connection between economic growth and the size of the public sector, on behalf of the Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees (TCO). This is his final report. The results show that there is no connection between economic growth and the size of the public sector or the level of taxation in OECD countries during the period the analysis enclose.
