Using the post-WWII data of U.S. federal corporate income tax changes, within a Smooth Transition VAR, this paper finds … that the output effect of capital income tax cuts is government debt-dependent: it is less expansionary when debt is high … than when it is low. To explore the mechanisms that can drive this fiscal state-dependent tax effect, the paper uses a DSGE …
