“…Several studies have performed cluster analyses for OECD and EU countries according to the tax wedge and labor market variables (Dolenc, Lapor sek & Separovi c, 2011;Dolenc & Vodopivec, 2005;Grdovi c Gnip & Tomi c, 2010;Separovi c, 2009). These studies classify countries into two major groups: (A) those with a higher tax wedge, higher unemployment and lower employment, and (B) those with a lower tax wedge, lower unemployment and higher employment.…”

This paper analyses the developments in labor income taxation in Croatia, Slovenia and Slovakia during the period 2011-2017. While the systems of social insurance contributions in these countries were relatively stable, their personal income taxes have undergone more important changes. Using tax-benefit microsimulation models, we compute average and marginal tax rates for the sample units and assess the impact of tax-benefit systems on income distribution.

“…Furthermore, technological progress had a minor impact on the real GDP growth rate. However, the reason for the second finding might be due to a poor depreciation policy and as mentioned, disinvested processes in R&D. Dolenc et al (2011) show that Croatia is classified among countries with high unemployment, low employment rate and higher tax wedge. They find a positive link between the tax wedge at different wage levels and the unemployment rate.…”

New growth theories during the 1990s stress the importance of exploring a link between investments and growth. Using standard growth equations, we look into the correlation between investment in technical structure and growth in Croatia for two periods – socialist (1960–1989) and transition (1990–2009). Results suggest that equipment investments can boost growth rates through total factor productivity (TFP). This is consistent with the work of De Long and Summers (1991, 1992, 1993, 1994) and Temple (1998). In Croatia the equipment investments – growth link appears to be stronger than the structure investment – growth link for both periods. We also find a strong positive correlation between human capital and growth. Tests confirm the consistency and robustness of the regression results, suggesting inclusion of new variables in standard growth models. The structure of technical investments, real capital stock (not proxies) and estimated human capital stock (not schooling proxies) should have an important role in explaining international growth differences.

“…The economic growth rates of countries and differences in tax burdens in the relevant process also differentiate the possible levels of analytical impact of the tax wedge between countries. Although there are no significant differences in the average impact rates of the tax wedge for OECD countries, the proportion of changes in worker wages has entered a period of decline after 2018, albeit very small (Dolenc et al, 2011).…”

In this study, we aim to put forth the tax wedge case that affects both the labor costs and the proposed investment level that also means economic growth through the public decision-making process in an analytical framework. Given that the tax wedge is the proportional difference between the tax paid by a taxpayer worker and the cost to the employer, it is understood that the effect levels also create different differential effects. In this context, it is necessary to question the analytical relationship between the tax wedge and the tax burden. The relationship between this systematic-analytical structural relationship and economic growth also means examining possible externalities in their impact levels. It seems that this effect on OECD countries reveals significant differences according to the development levels of the states. Besides, the breaking point where these differences are substantial in terms of our determinations is the tax burden of nations, and it is understood that the proportional changes in the tax wedge are directly affected by this financial fact. In addition, the fact that OECD countries also have different tax burdens, the differences between tax systems in practice also differentiate the analytical relationship between the tax wedge and tax burdens. However, the measures related to the deviations of global financial and economic relations between OECD countries reveal that possible analytical differences between tax wedge and tax burdens have tried to be overcome via the fundamental systemic financial restructures in recent years.
