Taxes, public spendings and economic growth in OECD countries (2010)
Journal Article
Bhattarai, K. (2010). Taxes, public spendings and economic growth in OECD countries. Problems and Perspectives in Management, 8(1), 14-30

Impacts of taxes and spending on accumulation and growth are assessed theoretically using neoclassical, optimal growth and overlapping generation models.

Redistributive effects of transfer programmes in the United Kingdom (2009)
Journal Article
Bhattarai, K., & Whalley, J. (2009). Redistributive effects of transfer programmes in the United Kingdom. Economica, 76(303), 413-431. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1468-0335.2008.00686.x

Results indicate that a money-metric measure of the welfare value of transfer received by the bott... Read More about Redistributive effects of transfer programmes in the United Kingdom.
