Abstract: This issue of the CNB Research Bulletin is focused on fiscal policy. The first article – by Aleš Krejdl – summarises the different approaches to fiscal sustainability and then applies two of the most widely used indicators – the primary gap and the tax gap – to the Czech fiscal outlook. Another way of addressing fiscal sustainability is to develop generational accounts. This is done – for the first time in the case of the Czech Republic – in the article by Kamil Dybczak. This approach sheds new light on how (un)fair our current fiscal policy is from the intergenerational perspective. The last article – by Alena Bičáková, Jiří Slačálek and Michal Slavík – aims to quantify the impact of labour taxation on labour supply and consequently on the fiscal balance. Again, this is the first time that such an analysis has been performed on the Czech economy.
