Downward Revision of Investment Decisions after Corporate Tax Hikes

This paper estimates the causal effect of corporate tax hikes on firm investment based on more than 1,400 local tax changes. By observing planned and realized investment volumes in a representative sample of German manufacturing firms, we can study how tax hikes induce firms to revise their investment decisions. On average, the share of firms that invest less than previously planned increases by 3 percentage points after a tax hike. This effect is twice as large during recessions.

The Effects of Taxes on Income Distribution Justice

One of the most important economic problems that countries have faced from the past to the present is income inequality. Income distribution is an important indicator that allows us to understand the social and political structures of societies by revealing how the income gap between the rich and the poor in a country changes. Thus, income redistribution or income justice is one of the important goals of fiscal policy. Taxes are also important intervention tools that economic management has in achieving this goal. In this context, this study aims to examine the relationships between different types of taxes and income distribution in the Turkish economy during the period from 2002 to 2022 by using markov regime switching analysis method. The analysis results indicate that, during the period covered by the study, indirect taxes have a positive effect on income distribution, while taxes based on declaration have a detrimental effect on income distribution.

Intergenerational persistence of poverty in five high-income countries.

Childhood poverty increases the likelihood of adult poverty. However, past research offers conflicting accounts of cross-national variation in the strength of-and mechanisms underpinning-the intergenerational persistence of poverty. Here the authors investigate differences in intergenerational poverty in the United States, Australia, Denmark, Germany and the United Kingdom using administrative- and survey-based panel datasets. Intergenerational poverty is decomposed into family background effects, mediation effects, tax and transfer insurance effects and a residual poverty penalty. The intergenerational persistence of poverty is 0.43 in the United States (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.40-0.46; P < 0.001), compared with 0.16 in the United Kingdom (95% CI = 0.07-0.25; P < 0.001) and 0.08 in Denmark (95% CI = 0.08-0.08; P < 0.001). The US disadvantage is not channelled through family background, mediators, neighbourhood effects or racial or ethnic discrimination. Instead, the United States has comparatively weak tax and transfer insurance effects and a more severe residual poverty penalty. If the United States were to adopt the tax and transfer insurance effects of its peer countries, its intergenerational poverty persistence could decrease by more than one-third.

Revisiting the Double Dividend Hypothesis with the Load Capacity Factor

The aim of the paper is to test the validity of the double dividend hypothesis in the five OECD countries with the highest environmental taxes (Türkiye, Slovenia, Latvia, the Netherlands and Denmark) using panel data analysis. With this motivation, the paper analyses the effects of environmental taxes on the load capacity factor and unemployment through two models for the period 1997-2022. According to the empirical findings, environmental taxes are cointegrated with both the load capacity factor and unemployment. The coefficient results of the first model reveals that environmental taxes positively affect the load capacity factor in Türkiye and Slovenia as well as at the panel level. Environmental taxes cause environmental degradation only in Denmark. In the second model, environmental taxes reduce unemployment in Latvia, the Netherlands, Denmark and at the panel level. In sum, the paper confirms the double dividend hypothesis for the panel.

Modeling and empirical evidence of the impact of implementation of sugar sweetened-beverages tax to reduce non-communicable diseases prevalence: a systematic review.

The surge in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) has been linked to excessive sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption. In response, the World Health Organization advocates for SSB taxes as a preventive measure. This study conducts a systematic literature review, encompassing simulation modeling and empirical evidence, to evaluate the effectiveness of SSB taxes in diminishing NCD prevalence. A systematic search from August 2002 to August 2022, utilizing databases like ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar, Wiley Online Library, Springer, and ResearchGate, identified 29 relevant articles worldwide following PRISMA 2020. The Critical Appraisal Skill Programme (CASP) 2018 tool was employed for economic evaluation. Among the selected articles, 22 utilized simulation models in group of countries such as South Africa, the US, the UK, Asia (Philippines, India, Indonesia, Thailand), Australia, and Europe (Germany), while seven were based on US and UK evidence. Simulation modeling consistently demonstrated that SSB taxes significantly reduced NCD incidence, prevalence, and mortality, also bolstering government revenue. Tax rates in simulations ranged from 10 to 25%. However, empirical evidence indicated a limited impact, primarily due to low tax rates. Notably, a UK-specific tax led to a 2.7% reduction in SSB sugar purchases and 40.2% higher purchases of no-levy drinks. The findings suggest that while simulation models demonstrate the potential effectiveness of SSB taxes in reducing NCDs, empirical evidence reveals there is no significant effect of the SSB tax, Based on the study conducted in this study, the SSB tax is not effective in reducing the prevalence of NCDs due to consumer preferences that have not changed. , likely due to the implementation of lower tax rates and failure to fulfill the assumption of subtitution product, physical activity, and so on. The study highlights that SSB tax is not effective in reducing the prevalence of NCDs due to consumer preference that have not change. Multi-actions are needed to support the sustainability of the implementation of the SSB tax, including education and promotion of healthy lifestyles and encouragement to reformulate SSB products by industry.

An examination of direct and indirect taxation in OECD countries and the case of Greece

This paper attempts to analyze and interpret the principles of direct and indirect taxation. Initially, a theoretical approach to the general concepts and principles governing tax law is presented. It is followed by a presentation of the Greek tax and financial system. The key points demonstrating the harmonization of tax legislation, in accordance with the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) guidelines so far are highlighted. Any future reform of the Greek national tax system should incorporate the fundamental principles of national tax policy. Additionally, it must be in line with OECD principles and guidelines. The further implementation of the Organization's recommendations will shift the balance between direct and indirect taxation, leading to strengthening the first and reducing the second. Over the last decades, the ratio of direct to indirect taxes has been on the increase, particularly in developed countries. The main reason is that direct taxation is socially just and effective. Direct taxation is attributed by the liable person, while indirect taxation is transferred according to the ability of each person to react to the relevant market. The OECD supports, for member countries, the strengthening of direct taxation, which takes into account income and other social criteria and satisfies both the criterion of efficiency and the criterion of fair distribution of economic burdens. On the contrary, indirect taxation is reduced to inversely progressive taxation in terms of the income of consumers and is not consistent with the OECD principles of socially just and effective taxation in economically developed countries. The taxation of the citizens in general follows the principle of the citizens contributing to the public burdens according to their powers, for there is nothing more unjust than to treat unequal men as equals. From this proportional treatment of the taxing units, the constitutional principle of equality is also satisfied by reflection.

The Nexus of Fiscal Policy and Growth in the Optimal Control Framework

This research investigates the effect of fiscal policy on economic growth, focusing on the intertwined relationship between public goods provision, taxation policies, and their impact on economic dynamics and growth. The study aims to contribute to this research domain by introducing an economic model within the optimal control framework that integrates taxation policies into the social constraint and incorporates public goods into the social utility function, addressing recent limitations in this research area. Through numerical analysis, the study examines the potential effects of taxes and public goods provision on consumption and economic growth, as reflected by the level of capital. Results indicate that increasing government spending on public goods can decrease private goods consumption without significant economic growth benefits. At the same time, high tax rates could potentially hinder economic growth by overly relying on government intervention. The research findings highlight the importance of an optimal approach to fiscal policy, with policy implications including the need to carefully evaluate public funds' allocation, enhance public spending efficiency, and implement optimal tax to foster economic growth.

The relevance of the article is that today one of the fundamentally important problems is to strengthen the financial system and ensure the entry of the national economy of Kazakhstan into the trajectory of sustainable socio-economic development. The priority issues of modern economic policy are the formation of an effective taxation system in Kazakhstan. It is determined by the fact that tax planning contributes to the optimization of taxes and payments in accordance with the tax code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Modernization of tax obligations is measures of business entities aimed at reducing taxes and payments, taking into account benefits and provisions in accordance with the tax code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Tax planning is aimed at solving problems such as increasing income and reducing tax liabilities. It is aimed at optimizing taxes and payments by enterprises, opening accounting documents and tax reports for tax structures. To do this, business entities use tax planning, which provides for tax incentives based on the use of benefits in accordance with tax legislation. In general, modernization is any activity aimed at improving the overall situation. In the tax part, optimization involves a combination of tax indicators and, on their basis, improving the calculation of tax liabilities and snow-year conditions of enterprises. One of the tools for optimizing taxes and payments, as well as tax planning, is the development of a tax accounting policy. The tax policy discloses all the tax features of the company, and also provides for the disclosure of tax documents. The article also outlines the types of tax planning – strategic and tactical characteristics. Strategic tax planning is being developed to modernize long-term taxes and payments. The development of a plan of the current reporting time for specific types of taxes and payments implies a set of measures of tactical tax planning. It was noted that the main goal of tax planning is to improve tax liabilities and increase the efficiency of enterprises.

Effects of carbon tax on energy transition, emissions and economy amid technological progress

Although carbon tax has been widely deployed, few papers have simulated carbon tax from the perspective of technological progress in clean electricity generation. Different from existing studies, this paper imposes an improved recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium (DCGE) model with a carbon emission block. Moreover, a new scenario of technological progress in clean electricity generation has been added to analyze the effects of carbon tax on energy transition, emissions and the economy. The conclusions are as follows. First, the combination of carbon tax and technological progress in clean electricity generation is an important way to decarbonize the power sectors. With a carbon tax of 30 CNY/t-CO2, the share of non-fossil energy consumption increases from 19.49 % in 2023 to 22.36 % in 2030 as technology progresses. Second, recycling carbon tax revenues to enterprises is more favorable for economic development than recycling to households. Third, technological progress in clean electricity generation effectively curbs the adverse impact of the carbon tax on the economy, turning the rate of change of GDP from negative to positive. It is recommended that policymakers initially implement a low-rate carbon tax, along with lower corporate and residential income taxes. Attention also needs to be paid to research and development of clean power technologies.

The Effects of Government Subsidies and Tax Incentives on Technological Innovation: Based on the Enterprise Life Cycle Perspective

Government subsidies and tax relief are important means of national strategic regulation and control, which effectively promote the technological innovation and development of enterprises. With the effective implementation of the national innovation-driven development strategy in recent years, it is of great significance to fully stimulate the technological innovation activities of enterprises. To encourage technological innovation of enterprises, government departments have formulated a series of preferential policies and increased the support for enterprises, among which government subsidies and preferential tax policies have played an important role. Based on the perspective of the life cycle, this paper analyzes the impact of government subsidies and preferential tax policies on different stages of the enterprise life cycle based on theoretical analysis and practical investigation. This paper probes into the influence mechanism of government subsidies and tax incentives on promoting technological innovation of enterprises, and puts forward some suggestions to improve it, to provide ideas for the future development of enterprises.
