Capital Taxation, Globalization, and International Tax Competition
The historical evolution of the corporate tax burden in the OECD nations is studied, beginning with an assessment of alternative measures of the burden.

These conclusions for the OECD and Europe as a whole are con...
متن کاملTax Convexity , Investment , and Capital Structure ∗

A simple theoretical model shows how interjurisdictional tax planning can give rise to asymmetries ...
متن کاملIncome taxation of couples and the tax unit choice

We concentrate our analysis on the resulting intra-family labor allocation of labor supplies and show that this analysis is strongly related to the choice of the tax unit (individual versus joint taxation). We gi...
