In this paper, we estimate the potential tax burden in a panel data set comprising OECD countries over the period 2000-2021. To this end, we use non-parametric and parametric techniques: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). In this way, it will be possible for...

This paper presents estimates of income concentration and inequality for Norway using a new comprehensive measure of income, which identifies business income as it is earned by companies rather than when it is paid out as dividends to owners. We assemble several sources of high quality register...

Vast literature is available covering main Informal Economy (IE) causes and consequences for Latin America and Caribbean (LAC), but its size estimation has been mainly limited to worldwide models applied to the region. This paper proposes a MIMIC Base Model using a data set composed by 41...

Die Studie untersucht den Beitrag der unterschiedlichen Einkommensarten, insbesondere der Einkommen aus unselbständiger Beschäftigung zur Finanzierung der öffentlichen Haushalte im Jahr 2019. Neben dem typischerweise dargestellten Aufkommen aus direkten Abgaben (Sozialbeiträge und...

Carbon pricing is becoming increasingly common but raises equity concerns and is frequently perceived as putting higher burdens on the poor than the rich. This chapter discusses the reasons for unequal carbon price burdens across countries and population groups, through the lens of a comparative...

This paper explores the characteristics and inter-relationships of tax systems in the OECD countries over the period 2014-2020, i.e., from a relatively consolidated economic period until the end of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. A predictable tax system is essential for the proper...

Purpose - This study aims to explore the interplay between market concentration and implicit tax burdens in Brazil, offering a fresh perspective on the conventional belief of perfect competition. Design/methodology/approach - Data was sourced from Brazilian firms on the B3 stock exchange between...

This paper aims to examine the influence of controlling corruption, tax burden reduction, price stability and trade liberalization on trade-related illicit financial flows. The analysis focuses on a sample of 120 developing and emerging countries, drawn from data collected over the period...

Seit dem Jahr 2016 wurde der Einkommensteuertarif jährlich an die Inflation angepasst, um die sonst automatisch steigende durchschnittliche Belastung der Einkommen - die "kalte Progression" - auszugleichen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden Grundfreibetrag und Tarifeckwerte verschoben, sodass die...

This study investigates gender disparities in the tax burden in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, using data on 2,320 taxpayers for 2011 and 2012. A quantile regression analysis is employed to control for firm characteristics such as sector, size, and age. The results show that women-owned businesses are...

Zusätzliche Investitionen von 57 Milliarden Euro würden bis 2033 entstehen, wenn die Körperschaftsteuer in Deutschland in fünf Schritten um insgesamt fünf Prozentpunkte gesenkt würde. Eine Simulation durch das IW Köln identifiziert auch Gewinne für die Arbeitnehmer.

The European Commission recently implemented the minimum tax directive (Pillar Two) to ensure that corporate profits are at least taxed at 15%. At the same time, it proposed a legislative initiative aimed at reducing the tax-induced distortions between debt and equity financing (debt-equity bias...

Die vorliegende Auswertung im Auftrag von Oxfam Deutschland e. V. und dem Netzwerk Steuergerechtigkeit zeigt anhand einer Reihe von Modellhaushalten beispielhaft auf, wie hoch die Steuerbelastung in der Schweiz für reiche und sehr reiche Steuerzahler ist, und wie diese im Vergleich zu einer...

This study analyzes the impact of secondary tax liability borne by stockholders, an exception to the principle of limited liability, on corporate investment. The paper constructs a model of a firm to examine the effect of this secondary tax liability, finding that the violation of limited...

A common conclusion in the literature is that both corruption and taxation hamper economic growth. It is also plausible that both affect total factor productivity, which, by the famous Solow residual, is a vital driver of economic progress. Moreover, corruption and tax burden are supposed to be...

This study shows that payout policy depends on the market expectation of the repurchase completion rate, within the context of the free cash flow hypothesis. Our model formulates that the amount of agency costs that are unlikely to be reduced discounts the share price at the announcement of...

This study examined the moderating effect of tax incentives on the relationship between effective tax rates and cash holdings of Brazilian non-financial institutions listed on the B3 stock exchange from 2017 to 2021. Using a panel linear regression model with a fixed effect and a statistical...

In this paper, I consider the role women economists played in the production of U.S. income and tax distribution studies over three decades beginning in the 1920s. Although related to and clearly influenced by consumption economics, these studies evolved along the boundaries of three distinct...

Fiscal theory posits that taxes and levies directly affecting labor costs can impact employment rates. Prior studies examined the effects of corporate taxation on employment and discovered significant short- and long-term relationships between tax revenue and employment rates. Our research...

Exploiting the German 2008 tax reform we employ an event study design to assess the effects of local corporate taxes on stock prices. We match firms to the local tax rates at their respective headquarters and analyze the differential stock market responses to the reform decision. We find that...

Inflation and taxation are a painful combination. Money losing its purchasing power hurts on its own, but tax provisions that ignore inflation can multiply the pain for earners, savers, and recipients of benefit programs as well.This E-Brief identifies problematic interactions between inflation...

This paper simulates the impact of the global minimum corporate tax rate (GMCTR) in Uganda by estimating the difference between the mechanical and the behavioural changes in tax revenue. Overall, implementation of GMCTR will increase tax revenue, and the revenue increase is inversely...
