Abstract

The Nordic tax reforms of the early 1990s were very much a product of the ‘supply-side-oriented’ economic policy paradigm developing in most OECD countries during the 1980s. Compared to the 1960s and 1970s, governments in the 1980s tended to put less emphasis on macroeconomic demand management and more emphasis on ‘structural’ policies as a means of improving economic performance. There was also a clear tendency for policy-makers to become more concerned about the disincentive effects of traditional welfare state policies, and a tendency to downgrade the conventional goal of redistributing income via the public budget.
