Economic Papers: A journal of applied economics and policy

Papers from the National Tax Forum
The Federal Government hosted the National Tax Forum on the 4th and 5th of October 2011 at Parliament House in Canberra. Although there was a great deal of skepticism among media commentators in the weeks leading up to the Forum, many participants expressed the view that it was a worthwhile exercise. This selection of papers on the National Tax Forum will provide an initial vehicle that engages the academic community in Australia in the tax reform process.

Workshop on Water
More has been written and spoken about water in the last ten years than almost any other topic in Australian public policy. The seven articles in featured in this issue provide originality, clarity and insight into this fraught debate, a debate often punctuated by disinformation and exaggeration.
