Research Working Papers 

Working papers are intended to provide an efficient means to facilitate exchange of theoretical and applied work with other researchers in government departments, research institutes and academia. The views expressed in working papers are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of our department or the Australian Government. Working papers are not necessarily refereed, with author(s) responsible for technical content. Colleagues may provide feedback on drafts, which are also subject to editorial oversight to ensure a high standard.
 
Further information about the papers may be obtained by contacting Dr Jianke Li (Assistant Manager, Economic Analysis Section) on telephone: 6213 6000).
