The Economics of Taxation Hardback
by Bernard (Columbia University) Salanie
Part of the The Economics of Taxation series
Hardback
Description
A concise and rigorous text that combines theory, empirical work, and policy discussion to present core issues in the economics of taxation. This concise introduction to the economic theories of taxation is intuitive yet rigorous, relating the theories both to existing tax systems and to key empirical studies.
The Economics of Taxation offers a thorough discussion of the consequences of taxes on economic decisions and equilibrium outcomes, as well as useful insights into how policy makers should design taxes.
It covers such issues of central policy importance as taxation of income from capital, environmental taxation, and tax credits for low-income families.
This second edition has been significantly revised and updated.
Changes include a substantially rewritten chapter on direct taxation; a discussion of recent research in the chapter on mixed taxation; the replacement of the chapter on capital taxation with a chapter on the "new dynamic public finance"; and considerations of environmental taxation in both theory and policy chapters.
The book is aimed at graduate students or advanced undergraduates taking public finance classes as well as economists who want to learn more about the topic.
It combines discussion of theory, empirical work, and policy objectives in compact form.
Appendixes provide necessary background material on consumer and producer theory and the theory of optimal control.
