Incentives in the Welfare-State; Lessons for Would-Be Welfare-States

Working Papers from Stockholm - International Economic Studies

Abstract: This paper deals with economic incentives and welfare-state arrangements in OECD countries; it also offers some lessons for would- be welfare states. These arrangements differ, of course, among countries. In particular, there is a wide variation in the extent to which countries rely on four basic institutions: the state, the firm, the family and the market.
