Editor’s Note: At the conference, How to Spend the Fiscal Dividend: What is the Optimal Size of Government? (Ottawa, December 3, 1997), Professor Gerald Scully discussed his work, based on data from the United States and New Zealand, on the optimal level of government spending and taxation. His theoretical analysis as well as his empirical findings for these two countries provided an important and useful background for the day’s discussion about the use of Canada’s future fiscal surpluses but he does not have a written paper or empirical results based on Canadian data. The following chapter was prepared in order to ensure that Canadians have access to Professor Scully’s ideas. It uses Scully’s theoretical model and econometric approach as the basis for estimates of an optimal rate of taxation and government spending in Canada. This chapter draws upon The Optimum Levels of Spending and Taxation in Canada by Johnny C.P. Chao and upon The Growth Tax in Canada by Joel Emes, Research Economist, and Dexter Samida, Research Assistant, at The Fraser Institute. Mr. Emes and Mr. Samida also provided assistance with the data and exposition of the final version.
