Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid emergence of East Asia as an important geopolitical-economic entity has been one of the most visible and striking changes in the international economy in recent years. With that emergence has come an increased need for understanding the problems of interdependence. As a step toward meeting this need, the National Bureau of Economic Research joined with the Korea Development Institute to sponsor this volume, which focuses on the complexities of tax reform in a global economy. Experts from Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, Japan, and Thailand, as well as the United States, Canada, and Israel examine the major tax programs of the 1980s and their domestic and international economic effects. The analyses reveal similarities between the United States and countries in East Asia in political constraints on policy making, and taken together they show how growing interdependence interacts with domestic economic and political concerns to affect issues as politically vital as tax reform. Economists, policymakers, and members of the business community will benefit from these studies.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Tax Reforms written by Gerrit B. Koester and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2009 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What determines tax policy? What motivations do governments follow in tax reforms? Do voters react to tax reductions and tax increases? Based on a new data-set of the fiscal effects of tax reforms in Germany from 1964 to 2004, this dissertation offers new insights on the pattern of tax reforms and tests economic hypotheses of tax policy. It shows that normative approaches are largely unable to contribute to the explanation of tax reforms in Germany. With respect to polity-economic theories, author Gerrit B. Koester finds that divided government matters, but in the opposite direction of the "gridlock-hypothesis" - tax reforms are larger and more frequent in times of divided government. He does not find evidence for partisan politics, but for opportunistic behavior of governments. However, the governments' attempts to manipulate re-election probabilities by tax reductions before elections largely fail. His analyses show that voters react strongly to tax burden changes, but take the direction of tax reforms within the whole legislative period - and not just in election years - into account.

This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays explores the history of the US tax mission to Japan during the occupation following World War II. Under General MacArthur, economist Carl S. Shoup led the mission with the charge of framing a tax system for Japan designed to strengthen democracy and accelerate economic recovery. The volume examines the sources, conduct and effects of the mission and situates the mission within the history of international financial and fiscal reform. The book begins by establishing the context of progressive social investigations of taxation, including Shoup's earlier tax missions to France and Cuba. It then goes on to explore the Japanese background to the Shoup mission and the process by which American and Japanese tax experts shaped their recommendations. The book then assesses and explains the mission's accomplishments in the context of the political economies of the United States and Japan. It concludes by analyzing the global implications of the mission, which became iconic among international tax reformers.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Corporation Tax written by John Snape and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Excellent technical writing on corporation tax abounds, but it tends to be inaccessible to public lawyers, political theorists and political economists. Although recent years have seen not only an explosion in public law scholarship but also a reawakening of interest in interpretative political theory and political economy, the potential of these perspectives to illuminate the corporation tax debate has remained unexplored. In this important work, John Snape seeks to reconcile these disparate strands of scholarship and to contribute to a new way of understanding and conceptualising the reform of the law relating to corporate taxation. Drawing on important developments in public law scholarship, the study combines elements of political theory and political economy. It advances a new interpretation of corporation tax law as an instrument of rule, through the maximisation of a nation's economic potential. Snape shows how corporate taxation belongs at the centre of any discussion of economic globalisation, not only because of the potential of national tax systems to influence inward investment decisions but also because of the potential of those decisions to shape the public interest that those tax systems might embody. Following public law and politics models, the book looks afresh at the impact of Britain's political institutions, of the processes of its representative government and of the theory that moulds and orders the values that the corporation tax code contains. This is a timely exploration of cutting-edge issues of public policy."--Provided by publisher.
