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...

Obtaining a Consistent Estimate of the Elasticity of Taxable Income Using Difference-in-Differences

The elasticity of taxable income (ETI) is a central parameter for tax policy debates. This paper shows that most estimators employed in the literature fail to obtain consistent estimates of the ETI. A new method is proposed that will provide consistent estimates under testable assumptions regarding the degree of serial correlation in the error term. Using this procedure, I estimate an ETI of 1....

Is 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. Feldstein’s 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...

Toward Obtaining a Consistent Estimate of the Elasticity of Taxable Income Using Difference-in-Differences

The elasticity of taxable income (ETI) is a central parameter for tax policy debates. This paper shows that mean reversion prevents most estimators employed in the literature from obtaining consistent estimates of the ETI. A new method is proposed that will resolve inconsistency due to mean reversion under testable assumptions regarding the degree of serial correlation in the error term. Using ...
