Background Analysis on the Spread and Trends of Hidden Economy in Macedonia

Background Analysis on the Spread and Trends of Hidden Economy in Macedonia

Author(s): Ana Mickovska-Raleva,Emil Shurkov / Language(s): English

Blamed for many of the country’s problems, but at the same time under-researched and ineptly understood, the hidden economy phenomenon has, for many years, been insufficiently tackled by Macedonian academic and political elites. During the past few years, a renewed interest in the topic has led towards its more systematic treatment by institutions, but still largely based on approximations, lack of coordination between institutions and under-evaluation of policy measures. This treatment of the problem opens the floor to many speculations regarding the effectiveness of policies and their actual impact on reducing the size of hidden economy. The analysis, prepared by the Center for the Study of Democracy and the Center for Research and Policy Making (CRPM), involves a review of existing reports and data on the hidden economy in Macedonia as well as the available international sources. It reviews the current policy initiatives and whether these have been evaluated, as well as any planned future initiatives. The document aims to address some of the key issues through representing cross-section of existing data on the hidden economy in Macedonia and relevant policies, with the intention to review and summarize the knowledge-base on the issue and provide recommendations for better tackling the problem.

GREY Working Paper No. 1: Tackling the Undeclared Economy in Bulgaria: a Baseline Report

GREY Working Paper No. 1: Tackling the Undeclared Economy in Bulgaria: a Baseline Report

Author(s): Rositsa Dzhekova,Colin C. Williams / Language(s): English

This working paper is an output of the European Commission’s FP7 "Marie Curie Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways" (IAPP) project entitled "GREY - Out of the shadows: developing capacities and capabilities for tackling undeclared work in Bulgaria, Croatia and FYR Macedonia". Ms Rositsa Dzhekova, Center for the Study of Democracy and Prof. Colin C Williams, GREY-IAPP, Sheffield University Management School, University of Sheffield elaborated the report in April 2014. It provides a systematic review of available evidence on the extent and nature of the undeclared economy in Bulgaria, as well as on the institutional actors involved in tackling the phenomenon and their policy approach and measures used. The aim of the GREY project is to provide concrete policy recommendations, based on rigorous empirical evidence, for those seeking to tackle the undeclared economy in Bulgaria, Croatia and FYR Macedonia. The key objectives of our project are: to conduct evaluations of existing policy measures directed at enabling the formalization of undeclared work; to identify good practices and assess the extent to which they might be transferable to other countries or contexts; to develop innovative policy measures and test their effectiveness at tackling undeclared employment in the EU-27; and to train a generation of experts who will be able to act as advisors and implementers of ambitious projects aimed at curbing undeclared work.

Fiscal Federalism between Theory and Practice in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Fiskalni federalizam između teorije i prakse u BiH

Author(s): Lejla Ramić / Language(s): Bosnian

Keywords: Bosnia and Herzegovina; federalism; fiscal policy; fiscal federalism; fiscal decentralization; government; budget; public debt; credit rating;

In this article the author discusses theoretical framework of fiscal federalism through his four keys determinants: assignment of functions and expenditures, public revenue assignment, intergovernmental transfers and borrowing. Fiscal federalism deals with these issues which are closely related with fiscal decentralization. Guided by these determinants, the author applied them to a complex state structure in BiH. Fiscal federalism in BiH is intriguing question having in mind current political relations and constitutional order of the state. After detailed analysis, the five striking conclusions drawn by the author are: 1. stronger central government position – current position of central government is not strong enough to lead quality macroeconomic management. One of author's suggestions is transfer of competences from entities to central government in the field of direct taxes. This transfer would enable the principle of costeffectiveness to be achieved; 2. independent fiscal council – fiscal council has two main disadvantages: a) political influence b) insufficient coordination of all levels of government. Fiscal council should be only a financial institution isolated from political influence and should represent a connection between all levels of government including cantons and municipalities; 3. more systematic use of intergovernmental transfers – intergovernmental transfers are important instrument for achieving fiscal equity in fiscal federalism, but in BiH these transfers need to be more systematic as the disparity in the development of regions becomes greater 4. Development budget – condition sine qua non – budgets of all government in BiH should be oriented to capital investments not only to fund a complex administration 5. borrowing – according to an official report, status of public debt is not negative but those responsible must keep in mind the rise in interest rates on domestic debt, poor credit ratings and currency risk for non-euro loans.
