Disparities among these countries empirical regularities suggest that the reformation of a policy (or experience) of another country is not applicable in other country. Different scenario in a country brings out different policy tools. Practically the real solution in reforming the appropriate policies lies on the coherent package of budget cut with some complementary policies such like productivity improvement, monetary and exchange rate. |
