	Projections Past and Future: Economic Imagination and the Financial Crisis 2007 - 2012 August 21, 2009 Working Papers Anthony J. Evans
	This working paper argues that economists have two main tools at their disposal, both of which are shockingly under-utilized. The first is counterfactual analysis—the ability to construct alternative histories to robustly assess what has transpired to be. The second is scenario building the creation of alternative futures to interpret and respond to what is to come.
	The Neoliberal Revolution In Eastern Europe: Economic Ideas in the Transition from Communism March 13, 2009 Books Anthony J. Evans, Paul Dragos Aligica
	Very few studies have ventured to explore the shift in economic ideas that were such a critical factor in shaping and understanding the East European transition process. Paul Dragos Aligica and Anthony J. Evans have seized upon the potential that this crucial case has to illuminate the larger phenomenon of diffusion and adoption of economic ideas.
	The Spread of the Flat Tax in Eastern Europe: A Comparative Study June 1, 2008 Journal Articles Anthony J. Evans, Paul Dragos Aligica
	This article is an exploratory comparative analysis of the spread the "flat tax" in post communist Eastern Europe. The paper overviews the flat tax as a public policy prescription, discusses the various arguments that underpin its potential reception, introduces and applies a synthetic comparative method to study its spread in nine Eastern Europe countries, and draws several conclusions regarding the conditions associated to the implementation of this economic policy idea while suggesting further research directions.
