The response of labour taxation to changes in government debt

by Fédéric Holm-Hadulla, Nadine Leiner-Killinger and Michal Slavík

This paper investigates the relationship between government debt and labour taxation for a panel of 18 EU countries over the period 1979-2008. The econometric estimates point to a statistically significant and economically relevant positive response of labour taxation to changes in the general government debt and interest expenditure-to-GDP ratios. The results are robust across a range of econometric specifications and labour tax indicators. - Debt ; labour taxes ; fiscal adjustment
