Two Sources of Bias in Estimating the Peak of the Laffer Curve
Usher, Dan
-
Economics Department, Queen's University
-
2013
Important as it is for public policy, there is still no consensus about the size of the revenue-maximizing tax rate at the top of the Laffer curve. The purpose of this essay is not to supply a correct rate, but to identify difficulties in doing so. 1) Estimates of the revenue-maximizing tax rate...
