In the spirit of Harberger, we apply a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model and estimate the excess burden stemming from the tax-induced distortion in the allocation of capital across the corporate and the non-corporate sectors in Germany. In doing so, we perform a counterfactual...

In den letzten Jahren wurde eine Vielzahl an Steuerreformvorschlägen in Deutschland unterbreitet. Zu den aktuellen gehören neben der Unternehmensteuerreform 2008 (UntSt-Reform), die Duale Einkommensteuer des Sachverständigenrates (DIT) und die Kirchhof'sche Einheitssteuer. Dieser Aufsatz...

Zum Jahresbeginn trat die Unternehmensteuerreform 2008 in Kraft. Christian Baretti, Doina Maria Radulescu und Michael Stimmelmayr untersuchen hier, inwieweit die Reform die Attraktivität des Wirtschaftsstandorts Deutschland verbessert wird. Ihrer Ansicht nach wird die Senkung der...

This paper investigates the effects of implementing a dual income tax (DIT) in Germany. We follow the reform proposal of the German Council of Economic Advisors(2003) and analyze its implications on capital formation, investment and welfare using a dynamic computable general equilibrium model....

According to Harberger's 1962 and 1966 seminal papers, the corporate income tax distorts the allocation of capital between the corporate and the non-corporate sector and reduces therefore aggregate output. To quantify this efficiency loss we apply a dynamic, computable, general equilibrium...
