Abstract

A költségvetési kiadások szerkezetének radikális átrendezésével járó államháztartási reformot jelentős társadalmi és politikai ellenállás fogadta. Míg az érdekeikben sértett csoportok elégedetlenségében nincs semmi meglepő, paradox jelenség, hogy sokszor azok is elutasítják a tervezett intézkedéseket, akik elvileg a reformok potenciális haszonélvezői közé tartoznak. A tanulmány ezt a paradoxont egyrészt az állampolgárok fiskális illúzióira, másrészt pedig a status quo hatásként számon tartott döntéselméleti anomáliára vezeti vissza.
