They tend to have a very open economy, and a relatively large government owing to the fact that certain functions cannot be downscaled in proportion to the population. The design of sensible tax policies for small economies requires that careful attention be paid to their international ramifications, i.e. their openness. This is a potentially daunting prospect, since the analysis of tax design in small open economies entails all of the complications and intricacies that appear in larger economies, with the addition of many others, given their high dependence on exports and imports. 2005-12-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/15902 Title: Gozitan launches two books on migrants in Melbourne Abstract: Brief article about Dr Raymond Xerri's two books: Gozitan Crossings - The impact of migration and return migration on an island community (2005) and A Decade of Australian Qala Association 1995-2005.
