Well-informed citizen can contribute better to country's economy? As the title stated, how can a person from the general public contribute to country's economy by being well-informed?

I understand one of the reason would be tax. If a person understands the importance of paying tax, then the person would be understand his responsibility and pay his tax promptly.

However, are there any other aspects can a informed person contribute to country's economy?

Primarily, by promoting policies and pursuing models which the informed person identifies as premised on realistic arguments versus those that are detrimental or make no sense.

A well-informed individual on his or her own is unlikely to outweigh activism or lobbying that pursues adverse interests. Nonetheless, that individual has more elements [than uneducated people] to scrutinize, analyze, and --if need be-- dismantle others' arguments. At the bare minimum, the well-informed individual can reasonably discern what would be most convenient (whether domestically or for the economy as a whole).

Not necessarily. Being well-informed is not deterministic of the rationale and conclusions at which the person will arrive. The well-informed person could reach a conclusion which is the opposite of the conjecture that he or she will become enthusiastic about taxes.

For instance, the individual could identify (as I personally do) that heavy taxation curtails a person's freedom, significantly complicates his or her financial planning, destroys incentives for productivity/innovation/self-improvement/etc., and even is ineffective toward the purposes of "well-fare" state with which politicians attempt to justify brutal levels of taxation.

Additionally, notions of utility as well as time value of money might still prompt a pro-tax advocate to delay his payment of taxes instead of paying them sooner.
