In search of the optimal size for local government
This paper brings an empirical assessment of economies of scale in local government units in Croatia. Using cross-section OLS models, we found statistically significant U-shaped relationship between local per capita expenditures and population size, while controlling for various demographic, socio-economic and institutional factors. The choice of control variables in the paper is based on the existing empirical literature but also includes factor…
Tax policy and labour market in Croatia

Our main results indicate that expansionary monetary and fiscal policies both have positive effects on economic activity. On the other hand, fiscal expansion leads to nominal exchange rate appreciation whil…
