A roadmap for fiscal sustainability
Get PDFThe conduct of fiscal policy as part of overall macroeconomic management is essential to underpinning growth and stability in the Australian economy.The sustainability of fiscal settings and the efficiency of individual budget measures help to support consumer and investor confidence, to ensure governments do their job cost-effectively and, ultimately, to assist rising living standards.A central theme of this Monograph is that effective fiscal rules can guide budget behaviours around a sustainable benchmark, provided that benchmark is properly specified and clearly identified. The combination of transparency and high-quality information can assist political acceptance of the need for budget discipline, without removing necessary fiscal flexibility.The experience of Australian economic reform over the last three decades supports this insight. Australia had seen its relative economic performance decline by the 1980s and arresting this trend required an effective mix of microeconomic and macroeconomic reforms pursued by successive Australian Governments, at least up to 2000. On the fiscal policy front, this meant tackling the accumulation of historically-high levels of Commonwealth (and state and territory) net debt.Policy reformers argued that improving the long-term credibility of policy settings would underpin strong and stable economic growth. The idea was that fiscal policy was felt most strongly through stabilising debt and national savings, via related confidence effects attached to the risk premia on interest rates and allocative efficiency improvements. In 1998, the Howard Government enacted the Charter of Budget Honesty reforms which required the explicit outlining of a “medium-term” fiscal strategy. The practicalities of this involved a fiscal strategy statement being included from the 1997-98 Budget onwards, nominating a target objective for the strategy._______________ Stephen Anthony is the Director of Budget Policy and Forecasting at Macroeconomics, an economic modelling firm based in Canberra.

Novel chiral cyclopentadienyl metal complexes
No full textThe synthesis of the known two-carbon linked chiral indenyl-phosphine ligand (1S)-[2-3H-inden-1-yl)-1-phenylethyl]diphenyl-phosphine 59 has been repeated, and the unexpected rearrangement during the final step of its synthesis, involving the spirocyclic intermediate (R,R)-spiro[2-phenylcyclopropane)-1,1’-indene], has been investigated. The novel two-carbon linked chiral ligand [(2R)-2-cyclohexyl-2-(3H-inden-1-yl)ethyl]-diphenylphosphine 121, has been prepared and its synthesis optimised to provide 61 % yield of enantiopure 121 from commercial vinylcyclohexane. The lithium salt of 121 has been complexed with [Rh(μ-C1)(CO)2]2 to form its rhodium(I) complex 154, with 56 % d.e. induction of planar-chirality. Complexation of 121 with RuC12(PPh3)3 has also been achieved, and the resulting ruthenium(II) complex 147 formed with 60 % d.e. induction of planar-chirality and complete control of metal-centred chirality. Unfortunately initial catalytic trials of the ruthenium(II) complex have proved disappointing. The ruthenium complex has been hydrogenated to the tetrahydroindenyl complex 148. The novel diphenyl-substituted two-carbon linked ligand rac-[1,2-diphenyl-2-(3H-inden-1-yl)ethyl]diphenyl-phosphine 128 has been prepared and complexed with RuC12(PPh3)3 to form its ruthenium complex 149, with 74 % d.e. induction of planar-chirality. The novel three-carbon linked indene-phosphine ligand rac-[3-cyclohexyl-3-(3H-inden-1-yl)propyl]-diphenyl-phosphine 129 has been prepared in 36 % overall yield from malonic acid and cyclohexane carboxaldehyde via a synthetic route involving the 1,4-addition of indenyl lithium to an α,β-unsaturated ester. X-ray structures six of the above organometallic complexes have been obtained, as well as five X-ray structures of intermediates formed during the syntheses of their ligands.</p
