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.
