"Why Have Kiwis Not Become Tigers? Reforms, Entrepreneurship, and Economic Development in New Zealand"
Chapter in Making Poor Nations Rich: Entrepreneurship and the Process of Economic Development
November 8, 2007
Table of Contents
Frederic Sautet's chapter "Why Have Kiwis Not Become Tigers? Reforms, Entrepreneurship, and Economic Development in New Zealand" appears in the book Making Poor Nations Rich: Entrepreneurship and the Process of Economic Development, edited by Benjamin Powell and with a forward by Deepak Lal.
Dr. Sautet attributes New Zealand’s economic turnaround since the mid-1980s to cuts in marginal tax rates, greater flexibility of labor laws, trade liberalization, and monetary restraint. Despite improvements, however, New Zealand’s growth is still hampered by high tax rates, tariffs imposed by potential trading partners, and excessive regulation of labor and industry.
