• Tax Cuts for New Hires: Not Yet Ready for Prime Time

  Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT

  Gary Burtless addresses the idea of a tax credit for job creation, concluding that although the idea is attractive, it is not one that has a conspicuous record of success. The closest analogy to the kind of job creation tax incentive now under discussion is the 1970s era New Jobs Tax Credit, which demonstrated that creating a well designed subsidy is difficult if not impossible.  
  

• Tax Reform Handcuffs

  Mon, 04 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT

  President Obama has embraced the idea of tax reform and created an independent commission, but told its members to work within the confines of current policy. Can there be meaningful reform that doesn't raise income taxes on 95 percent of taxpayers? William Gale discusses this and other issues regarding tax reform.

• Assessing the G-20 Stimulus Plans: A Deeper Look

  Thu, 05 Mar 2009 00:00:00 GMT

  Almost all of the G-20 countries have agreed to some type of fiscal stimulus plan to get their economies back on track but how strong are the plans and what measures are included? Eswar Prasad and Isaac Sorkin analyze the G-20 stimulus plans in detail in new research.

• The Economy Needs a Shot In the Arm

  Sun, 21 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT

  Jeffrey R. Kling and William J. Congdon agree with the Obama stimulus proposal that increasing expenditures and decreasing taxes can stimulate the economy, but that spending on “shovel ready” infrastructure and human capital to diversify the targets of stimulus dollars will expedite the process while keeping waste to a minimum.

• A Payroll Tax Holiday?

  Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT

  
  If policy-makers prefer speedy and administratively simple tax relief, a payroll tax cut has much to recommend it. However, argues Gary Burtless, if they want to target tax relief on taxpayers who are most likely to spend it in the short run, then a temporary cut in income taxes is the way to go.

• Distributional Effects of the 2001 and 2003 Tax Cuts

  Mon, 30 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT

   William Gale, Doug Elmendorf, Jason Furman and Benjamin Harris reexamine the distributional effects of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, incorporating the financing of the tax changes, and the implications of behavioral responses for economic growth, incomes, and well-being factors. Compared with the standard analysis, this “dynamic distributional analysis” shows that the benefits of these tax cuts were much smaller, on average, and much more skewed toward people with higher incomes.

• The President's Health Insurance Proposal - A First Look

  Tue, 23 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT

  In his State of the Union address, President Bush will propose to replace most current tax exclusions and deductions for health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs with a new $15,000 standard deduction ($7,500 for single people) in the federal income tax-as well as an exemption from payroll taxes-for all taxpayers who obtain qualifying health insurance. The plan would eliminate the current bias in favor of health insurance obtained through employers, provide tax incentives for the purchase of health insurance in the private market, and reduce current tax incentives to over-spend on healthcare services. As designed, the proposal would be revenue neutral over ten years, after which it would generate a growing stream of revenue.
  
  The innovative plan is a major step toward improving the efficiency of the market for health insurance. By severing the link between work and insurance, it would offer everyone the same tax incentives to obtain insurance coverage and limit spending on health care. Whether it would succeed in meeting its objectives in a fair way is less clear.

• The Budget Crisis: Is It All Déjà Vu?

  Wed, 01 Feb 2006 00:00:00 GMT

  This paper looks back at the efforts after 1981 to resolve the conflict over how to reduce the budget deficit. Large and sustained budget deficits have re-emerged as a central focus of the debate over U.S. economic policy. The parallels between today's situation and the large deficits of the 1980s are striking in several dimensions. Is it possible that history will simply repeat itself, and a return to the budget discipline of the 1990s will again restore balance?

• Tax Reform Options in the Real World

  Sat, 01 Oct 2005 00:00:00 GMT

  The basic description of a desirable tax system is broadly accepted: It should raise the revenues needed to finance government spending in a manner that is as simple, equitable, stable, and conducive to economic growth as possible. Although people agree that the current system clearly falls short of at least some of these goals, it is not easy to point to examples around the world that work much better. In addition, how the system should be reformed is subject to enormous controversy. People define the underlying goals differently—notions of fairness, for example, are clearly "in the eyes of the beholder." People disagree on the most effective policies for attaining a particular goal, such as more economic growth. And most importantly, people have differing value judgments, which make agreement on policy almost impossible in the nearly ubiquitous case where there are tradeoffs among the goals.

• Deficits, Interest Rates, and the User Cost of Capital: A Reconsideration of the Effects of Tax Policy on Investment

  Fri, 01 Jul 2005 00:00:00 GMT

  Under traditional formulations, lower capital income tax rates reduce the user cost of capital and stimulate investment. The traditional approach, however, implictly or explicitly considers a revenue-neutral reduction in capital income taxation. We extend the traditional approach by considering a reduction in taxes that generates an increase in the budget deficit; the expanded budget deficit raises interest rates and the opportunity cost of investment. This provides a mechanism through which tax cuts can raise the cost of capital. Representative calculations show that, even with relatively modest interest rate effects, the net effect of making the Administration's recent tax cuts permanent or a 10-percent reduction in individual income tax rates would be to raise the user cost of capital. Thus, sustained tax cuts can raise the cost of capital and reduce investment.
