V. Challenges for Tax Policy in Oecd Countries
Tax design needs to balance considerations of economic efficiency, equity and enforceability Modern OECD economies have fundamental economic and social objectives that require public spending.

We find that the “average” country in the sample could increase the fiscal stability of its public sector by redu...

In this paper we study the effects of reforms to corporate and personal income taxation on the rate of firm entry and exit using industry data for 19 OECD countries from 1998 to 2005.
