Download or read book Taxation in Crisis written by Dimitrios D. Thomakos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive guide to modern day taxation issues. It presents a thorough overview of many of the crucial aspects of applied taxation and current tax systems, and presents evidence that supports taxation as an important policy issue requiring immediate address globally. Contributions seek to address the core question of how to design a tax policy mix that can serve primarily efficiency, growth and possibly equity goals at a time where fiscal spending, for many economies, is not a viable option. Chapters provide a historical perspective on taxation, then go on to cover aspects of the modern theory of optimal taxation and tax design and provide valuable international perspectives on current tax practices and much required tax reforms. Empirical analysis on taxation and related economic data help the readers to understand how data-based observations and results are linked to the theory of taxation, and more importantly economic growth, before offering appropriate policy prescriptions. This book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners interested in learning more about taxation and why it matters today in the global economy.
Download or read book Taxes and Unemployment written by Laszlo Goerke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter has set out in detail the models which are employed below in order to analyse the labour market effects of changes in tax rates and in alterations in the tax structure. The fundamental mechanisms underlying the different approaches have been pointed out. Moreover, vital assumptions have been emphasised. By delineating the models which are used for the subsequent analyses, implicitly statements have also been made about topics or aspects which this study does not cover. For example, all workers and firms are identical ex ante. However, ex-post differences are allowed for, inter alia, if unemploy ment occurs or if some firms have to close down. These restrictions indicate areas of future research insofar as that the findings for homogeneous workers or firms yield an unambiguous proposal for changes in tax rates or the tax structure in order to promote employment. This is because it would be desir able for tax policy to know whether the predicted effects also hold in a world with ex-ante heterogeneity. Furthermore, the product market has not played a role. Therefore, repercussions from labour markets outcomes on product demand - and vice versa - are absent. 55 Moreover, neither the process of capital accumulation, be it physical or human capital, nor substitution pos sibilities between labour and capital in the firms' production function are taken into account. Finally, international competition is not modelled.
Download or read book Tax Composition and Growth written by Mr.Santiago Acosta Ormaechea and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-10-26 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigate the relation between changes in tax composition and long-run economic growth using a new dataset covering a broad cross-section of countries with different income levels. We specifically consider 69 countries with at least 20 years of observations on total tax revenue during the period 1970-2009—21 high-income, 23 middle-income and 25 low-income countries. To our knowledge this is the most comprehensive and up-to-date dataset on tax composition and growth. We find that increasing income taxes while reducing consumption and property taxes is associated with slower growth over the long run. We also find that: (1) among income taxes, social security contributions and personal income taxes have a stronger negative association with growth than corporate income taxes; (2) a shift from income taxes to property taxes has a strong positive association with growth; and (3) a reduction in income taxes while increasing value added and sales taxes is also associated with faster growth.

Download or read book Italian Fiscal Policy Review 2015 written by Sergio Ginebri and published by Roma TrE-Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume esamina e valuta la politica di bilancio italiana realizzata nell’anno 2015, di cui vengono presentati gli impatti macroeconomici e distributivi. Si sostiene che, da una parte, le politiche di consolidamento fiscale mettono a rischio la crescita già bassa del Pil e finiscono per ritardare la riduzione del rapporto tra debito e Pil; d’altra parte, che i provvedimenti adottati non hanno ridotto la disuguaglianza nella distribuzione del reddito, che in Italia è una delle più alte in Europa. Oltre a ciò, vengono approfondite due tematiche salienti per la politica di bilancio: in primo luogo la relazione esistente tra struttura del prelievo fiscale, crescita, occupazione. Viene mostrano che, a parità di gettito, un aumento della progressività del prelievo incrementa l’occupazione, e che un trasferimento del prelievo dal reddito al consumo aumenta la crescita e l’occupazione. Il secondo argomento di approfondimento riguarda la misurazione del Pil potenziale, che è alla base delle regole fiscali europee. Due contributi mostrano la scarsa robustezza o l’inadeguatezza delle metodologie di calcolo del potenziale adottate dalla Commissione europea.

Download or read book The Challenges of Fiscal Consolidation and Debt Reduction in the Caribbean written by Charles Amo Yartey and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-07-08 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines debt dynamics in the Caribbean and discusses policy options for reducing the high debt levels. Based on empirical studies of factors underlying global large debt reduction episodes, important policy lessons are drawn for the Caribbean. The analysis shows that major debt reductions are associated with strong growth and decisive and lasting fiscal consolidation efforts. Since growth in the current environment is virtually nonexistent, significant fiscal consolidation is inevitable in the region. Better control of the public wage bill, increasing public sector efficiency and tackling transfers are the obvious targets to reduce spending. On the revenue side, there is ample room to reduce tax expenditures, eliminate distortions while broadening the tax base. Fiscal consolidation needs to be complemented by a comprehensive debt reduction strategy including tax policy reforms and structural reforms to boost competiveness.
