Books and reports: An Analysis of Proposals for Constitutional Change in New Zealand 1 September 1992, Penelope Brook Cowen, Tyler Cowen and Alexander Tabarrok	View PDF
The authors analyse three reform proposals to the 1992 system of government: the replacement of the first-past-the-post electoral system with proportional representation, the reintroduction of a second chamber of parliament and increased use of referenda. The study assesses whether such reforms would improve the workings of government. The authors deliver a generally favourable verdict on non-binding citizens initiated referenda but oppose the other proposals.
