The Optimal Elasticity of Taxable Income
The strength of the behavioral response to a tax rate change depends on the environment individuals operate in, and may be manipulated by instruments controlled by the government. We first derive a measure of the social benefit to affecting this elasticity. The paper then examines this effect in the solution to the optimal income taxation problem when such an instrument is available, first in a...
متن کاملTaxable Income, Future Earnings, and Equity Values
We investigate the ability of a tax-based fundamental—the ratio of taxto-book income—to predict earnings growth and stock returns and to explain the earnings-price ratio. This tax fundamental reflects both temporary and permanent book-tax differences as well as tax accruals, such as changes in the tax valuation allowance. We find that the tax-to-book income ratio predicts subsequent five-year e...

متن کاملEstimating the Elasticity of Intertemporal Substitution When Instruments Are Weak
In the instrumental variables (IV) regression model, weak instruments can lead to bias in estimators and size distortion in hypothesis tests. This paper examines how weak instruments affect the identification of the elasticity of intertemporal substitution (EIS) through the linearized Euler equation. Conventional IV methods result in an empirical puzzle that the EIS is significantly less than o...
متن کاملIs the Taxable Income Elasticity Sufficient to Calculate Deadweight Loss? The Implications of Evasion and Avoidance
Since Feldstein (1999), the most widely used method of calculating the excess burden of income taxation is to estimate the e¤ect of tax rates on reported taxable income. Feldsteins taxable income formula for deadweight loss implicitly assumes that the marginal social cost of evasion and avoidance equals the tax rate. This paper argues that this condition is likely to be violated in practice fo...
