The Tennessee Econometric Model is employed to simulate the effects of alternative fiscal limits on a state economy. Limits modelled on those currently in effect in California, Colorado, New Jersey, and Tennessee are applied using both an elastic and an inelastic revenue structure. Economic and fiscal effects depend on the elasticity of the revenue structure, the coverage of the limits, the degree of restraint imposed by the limit, whether business or individual taxes are reduced, and the timing of tax reductions. The limits have a greater constraining effect on elastic structures. A frequent effect of the limits is a reduction in the size of the public sector and a small increase in the private sector with the overall level of economic activity generally declining. Fiscal limits are found to have more stimulative economic effects if the tax relief is business-oriented, so that the net economic effect may be positive.

The purpose of the article was to reveal the analytical tools for evaluating the effectiveness of the allocated financing funds for the provision of the services provided in the public sector of the economy, the application of which does not have a uniform methodology today. The possibility to solve this issue is shown with regard to the compulsory health insurance system. To achieve the goal, the study reveals the definition of such categories as “effect” and “efficiency” of the medical institutions activities, “efficiency of spending” of the Territorial Fund for Compulsory Health Insurance. There is revealed the analytical significance of the existing methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of health care costs; their comparative analysis is carried out. Based on the results, the alternative is proposed, based on the system of the cost-effectiveness indices to achieve the health, social and economic effects of medical institutions; the analytical advantages of the alternative proposed are justified.

‘Production and people’ examines the socioeconomic impact of AIDS, predicted to decrease economic growth. Yet many countries have nonetheless continued to grow. The effect on the private sector depends on a region’s industry and the scale of its epidemic, but there are more options to combat economic effects than in the public sector. The majority of people in high prevalence countries live in rural areas and primarily depend on subsistence agriculture; AIDS is adversely affecting agriculture, predominantly through its impact on labour. It is at the household level that AIDS is most destructive, creating stress and destroying families—becoming impoverished by their burden of care.
