Almost all theoretical work on how to calculate the marginal deadweight loss has been done for linear taxes and for variations in linear budget constraints. This is quite surprising since most income tax systems are nonlinear, generating nonlinear budget constraints. Instead of developing the...

This paper develops a simulation model in order to examine the effectiveness of state attempts at redistribution under a variety of migration elasticity assumptions. Key outputs from the simulation include the impact of tax-induced migration on state revenues, excess burden, and fiscal...

The burden of federal taxes does not fall equally on the cities, counties and congressional districts that comprise the geographic landscape of the United States. Because tax collections figures provide little information about the true economic burden of taxes, researchers must employ various...

Tax reforms over the past twenty-five years in the United States have dramatically altered the income tax system with numerous changes in base definitions and tax rates. With all of the changes that have taken place, including the most recent tax cuts in 2001 and 2003, interest in the effect of...
