Tax Cuts, Employment and Asset Prices: A Real Intertemporal Model
We determine the effects of a delayed or immediate tax cut with or without a “sunset” feature in a real customer-market, nonRicardian economy. Our model incorporates both the supply-sider channel as well as the Feldstein-Rubin-Summers channel. We show that a tax cut may depress both the real asset price and employment. The presence of the paradoxical result of employment contraction does not wo...
متن کاملOptimal Marginal Tax Rates for Low Incomes:
Previous studies have shown that the optimal marginal tax rate at the bottom of the income distribution may be positive, negative, or even zero. This paper reexamines this problem in a unified framework and tries to evaluate the arguments. It turns out that the case for positive marginal tax rates is quite strong, whereas negative marginal tax rates seem to be based on a misconception.
متن کاملNonlinear Taxation, Tax Arbitrage and Equilibrium Asset Prices
This paper investigates the equilibrium implications of the presence of nonlinearly taxed, redundant securities, and of the resulting tax arbitrage opportunities. Heterogeneity in taxation leads to discrepancies in assets' pre-tax market prices of risk. We show that this mispricing is set so that agents e®ectively cooperate to minimize aggregate taxes, even though individually each agent may no...
متن کاملSimulating Corporate Marginal Income Tax Rates and Implications for Corporate Debt Policy
We study several important tax-related issues related to the measurement and use of corporate marginal tax rates. First, we develop an AR(1) method to simulate corporate marginal income tax rates and demonstrate that the AR(1) model improves upon the extant random walk and bin approaches. The new AR(1) approach captures firm-specific features, including mean-reversion in taxable income. Second,...
متن کاملThe Determinants of Municipal Tax Rates in British Columbia
In this paper we study the regional pattern of municipal business property tax rates in the province of British Columbia. Reduced form tax setting equations produce some evidence that municipal governments respond to tax changes in neighboring jurisdictions. However, a joint investigation of the determinants of tax base and municipal taxation decisions reveals that it is difficult to interpret ...
