Book excerpt: A presentation of the cost-of-capital approach for analyzing the economic impact of tax policy. This book presents a comprehensive treatment of the cost-of-capital approach for analyzing the economic impact of tax policy. This approach has provided an intellectual impetus for reforms of capital income taxation in the United States and around the world. The cost of capital and the marginal effective tax rate are combined with estimates of substitution possibilities by businesses and households in analyzing tax and spending programs. This makes it possible to evaluate tax reforms and changes in government spending. Studies of the economic impact of tax policies have taken two forms. First, the cost of capital has been incorporated into investment functions in macroeconomic models, which are used to model the short-run responses to tax policy changes. Second, the cost-of-capital approach has been integrated into applied general-equilibrium models used in evaluating the long-run economic effects of tax reforms. The cost-of-capital approach suggests two avenues for tax reform. One would retain the income tax base of the existing U.S. tax system, but would equalize tax burdens on all forms of assets as well as average and marginal tax rates on labor income. The other would substitute consumption for income as a tax base, while equating average and marginal tax rates on labor income.

Download or read book U S Investment Since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 written by Emanuel Kopp and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no consensus on how strongly the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) has stimulated U.S. private fixed investment. Some argue that the business tax provisions spurred investment by cutting the cost of capital. Others see the TCJA primarily as a windfall for shareholders. We find that U.S. business investment since 2017 has grown strongly compared to pre-TCJA forecasts and that the overriding factor driving it has been the strength of expected aggregate demand. Investment has, so far, fallen short of predictions based on the postwar relation with tax cuts. Model simulations and firm-level data suggest that much of this weaker response reflects a lower sensitivity of investment to tax policy changes in the current environment of greater corporate market power. Economic policy uncertainty in 2018 played a relatively small role in dampening investment growth.

Download or read book CGE Models and Capital Income Tax Reforms written by Doina Maria Radulescu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-09-13 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book suggests a novel way how the effects of tax reforms especially in the field of capital income taxation can be measured by means of dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. Using a model calibrated to the German economy, the author evaluates and quantifies the effects of introducing a Dual Income Tax (DIT) in Germany. This tax reform is a currently hotly debated topic in Germany and has been suggested both by the German Council of Economic Advisors (GCEA) and by Prof. Hans-Werner Sinn. Thus, the book is of great interest not only for the academic but also for the business world and politics.
Download or read book The Case for Replacing Investment Income Taxes with an Annual Wealth Tax written by S. Douglas Hopkins and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tax reform debate in America is largely framed as a conflict of competing principles rather than shared goals and the resulting politicized power struggle has left us blind to a critical flaw in fiscal policy: Structural preferences that shelter wealth from direct taxation are subsidizing unproductive and illiquid capital, thereby distorting investment incentives and obstructing sustainable economic growth and job creation. Those preferences are both inefficient and inequitable, contrary to core principles of both democracy and capitalism. A properly designed annual wealth tax could facilitate removal of those preferences and serve as the cornerstone element of simultaneously more equitable and efficient comprehensive tax reform: a) stimulating more productive investment and thereby job growth, while allowing us to b) equalize effective tax rates between labor and capital, and c) lower the maximum marginal tax rate to 25%. The most direct way to both stimulate our productive economy and restore the American Dream is to reduce the marginal tax burden imposed upon earned income. Increasing the take-home pay of the working class would both stimulate personal consumption which constitutes over 2/3 of GDP, and facilitate savings among the portion of the population which otherwise places demands upon our social services programs. The most efficient way to stimulate productive domestic investment is to equalize the imposed burden upon all investible capital; removing misguided structural tax preferences toward illiquid and unproductive assets would trigger a rapid and aggressive redeployment of private capital. If 3% of the nation's $97 Trillion national wealth were redeployed it would unleash a $3 Trillion stimulus program funded entirely with private capital.
Download or read book Measuring Capital in the New Economy written by Carol Corrado and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-02-15 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the accelerated technological advances of the past two decades continue to reshape the United States' economy, intangible assets and high-technology investments are taking larger roles. These developments have raised a number of concerns, such as: how do we measure intangible assets? Are we accurately appraising newer, high-technology capital? The answers to these questions have broad implications for the assessment of the economy's growth over the long term, for the pace of technological advancement in the economy, and for estimates of the nation's wealth. In Measuring Capital in the New Economy, Carol Corrado, John Haltiwanger, Daniel Sichel, and a host of distinguished collaborators offer new approaches for measuring capital in an economy that is increasingly dominated by high-technology capital and intangible assets. As the contributors show, high-tech capital and intangible assets affect the economy in ways that are notoriously difficult to appraise. In this detailed and thorough analysis of the problem and its solutions, the contributors study the nature of these relationships and provide guidance as to what factors should be included in calculations of different types of capital for economists, policymakers, and the financial and accounting communities alike.
