This paper assesses causes and consequences of fiscal redistribution in Brazil. The framework proposed allows … welfare, addressing both static and dynamic implications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first microsimulation … attempt to gauge actual fiscal policy redistribution changes over time in Brazil. The study develops an empirical methodology …

This paper analyses the macroeconomic effect of legislated personal income tax changes in South Africa over the 1996 …-2019 period. We identify personal income tax shocks using a narrative approach and incorporate these shocks in a proxySVAR model … both the investment and consumption channels.

The present study provides estimates of the Effective Marginal Tax Rates (EMTRs) for a sample of 17 OECD countries and …-country/cross-sector approach allows us comparing the incentives provided by the tax systems and gauging the effects of tax changes taking … explicitly into account the possible substitution between factors as well as their tax incidence. Our results suggest that the …

This paper investigates the factors that shape governments’ capacity to collect revenue. To do so, it analyses how tax … revenue responds to tax rates using evidence from a panel of 34 OECD countries over 1978-2014. The estimations show that the … response of revenue to rates weakens as rates become higher, confirming the existence of a hump-shaped relationship between tax …
