Germany: gradual increase in economic freedom.
Russia: lowest in the three countries. (corruption and limited respect for property rights hinder the development of economic activity that is free from government control or influence.)
Ranking (highest to least)-Germany-Italy-Russia
![Page 35: Germany, Italy, and Russia](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816974550346895de14f0c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Conclusion & Policy recommendation
Germany-GDP, income level, economic
freedom are the best in the three countries.
But,-unemployment is higher than
other two countries.
![Page 36: Germany, Italy, and Russia](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816974550346895de14f0c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Suggestions-resist the minimum wages-keep the past policies, and combine
with the current fiscal policies to a stable growth in GDP.
![Page 37: Germany, Italy, and Russia](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816974550346895de14f0c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Russia-growth of GDP is the highest in the
three countries
But, -economic freedom is low-depend heavily on the revenue of
these natural resources
![Page 38: Germany, Italy, and Russia](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816974550346895de14f0c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Suggestions-increase the transparency (state
owned enterprises share the most parts in market, so the regulations are important and necessry)
-improve the industries (beyond the natural resources)
![Page 39: Germany, Italy, and Russia](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816974550346895de14f0c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Italy-relatively common
But, -labor market is the worst-unemployment rate is high

Suggestions-make rules to hire more employees-regulation -tax cuts to low the labor costs
![Page 41: Germany, Italy, and Russia](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816974550346895de14f0c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
