We analyze differences in tax filing behavior between natives and immigrants using population-wide Swedish … bunching behavior among the self-employed at the salient first kink point of the Swedish central government income tax schedule …

estimate the taxable income elasticity at a very large kink point of the Swedish tax schedule using the bunching method. During … the period of study the change in the log net-of-tax rate reached a maximum value of 45.6%. Interestingly, we obtain a …

Using a calibrated overlapping generations model we quantify the welfare gains of an age dependent income tax.

We examine empirically the relationship between the extent of redistribution and the components of the Mirrlees … incomes. Our redistributive preference measure is constructed using the optimal tax formula for which we have collected data … because pre-specified functional forms are not easy to justify in empirical investigations of the optimal tax framework.
