| Summary: | This note provides selected measurements
of public sector size for the countries and territories of
the Americas and discusses the resulting differences across
countries and territories and across the different
measurements of size. The key conclusions are that public
sector sizes differ considerably across countries and
territories, that there are differences in the public sector
size ranking of countries and territories depending on which
measurement is looked at, and that there is a wide variety
of reasons that may account for or explain why a given
country has a large or a small public sector. |
