"This paper critically surveys the large and growing literature estimating the elasticity of taxable income with … assumptions this elasticity can be used as a sufficient statistic for efficiency and optimal tax analysis. We discuss what other … parameters should be estimated when the elasticity is not a sufficient statistic. Second, we discuss conceptually the key issues …

In this report, we combine theory and empirical estimates for how labor earnings respond to changes in tax rates and unearned income. We use lottery winnings to obtain variation in unearned income and tax reforms to obtain variation in the net of tax rate. Combining this information with...

We investigate bunching at personal tax thresholds over a 40-year period. At kinks, where the marginal tax rate rises, we find bunching among company owner-managers and the self-employed, but not those with only employment income. Notches, where the average rate rises, provide compelling...

The author applies the bunching methodology to South African administrative tax data over the period from 2011 to 2017 to investigate the responsiveness of individual taxpayers to changes in marginal personal income tax rates. She finds significant evidence of bunching among the self-employed...
