Making inferences about aggregate business cycles from regional variation alone is diffcult because of economic channels and shocks that differ between regional and aggregate economies. However, we argue that regional business cycles contain valuable information that can help discipline models...

The taxable income elasticity is a key parameter for predicting the effect of tax reform or designing an income tax …. Bunching at kinks and notches in a single budget set have been used to estimate the taxable income elasticity. We show that … the size of the taxable income elasticity, and neither is the entire distribution of taxable income for a convex budget …

We develop a general method to study the effects of non-linear taxation in dynamic settings using variational arguments. We first derive general theoretical formulas that characterize the welfare effects of local tax reforms and, in particular, the optimal tax system, potentially restricted...
