Book Synopsis Government Spending, Taxes, and Economic Growth by : Mr.Paul Cashin
Download or read book Government Spending, Taxes, and Economic Growth written by Mr.Paul Cashin and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1994-08-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops an endogenous growth model of the influence of public investment, public transfers, and distortionary taxation on the rate of economic growth. The growth-enhancing effects of investment in public capital and transfer payments are modeled, as is the growth-inhibiting influence of the levying of distortionary taxes which are used to fund such expenditure. The theoretical implications of the model are then tested with data from 23 developed countries between 1971 and 1988, and time series cross sectional results are obtained which support the proposed influence of the public finance variables on economic growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides a theoretical and empirical investigation of the simultaneous effects of taxes and government spending on long-run economic growth in an endogenous growth framework. A two-sector model is considered: one sector produces physical output and the other produces human capital. Government expenditure is divided into several categories, and several types of taxes are included. The property tax is especially interesting because it is a major source of revenue for local government. The theoretical model is estimated using annual panel data from North Carolina counties. This study finds that state-level fiscal policies affect economic growth but county-level fiscal policies do not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I extend existing models of endogenous economic growth to incorporate a government sector. Production involves private capital (broadly defined) and public services. There is constant returns to scale in the two factors, but diminishing returns to each separately. Public services are financed by a flat- rate income tax. The economy's growth rate and saving rate initially rise with the ratio of productive government expenditures to CNP, g/y, but each rate eventually reaches a peak and subsequently declines. If the production function is Cobb-Douglas with an exponent o for public services, then the value g/y = a maximizes the growth rate, and also maximizes the utility attained by the representative consumer. The distortion from the income tax implies that the decentralized equilibrium is not Pareto optimal; in particular, the growth and saving rates are too low from a social perspective. In a command optimum, growth and saving rates are higher, but g/y = a turns out still to be the best choice for the size of government. The command optimum can be sustained by picking the expenditure ratio, g/y = a, and then financing this spending by lump sum taxes. If the share of productive spending, g/y, were chosen randomly, then the model would predict a non-monotonic relation between g/y and the economy's long- term growth and saving rates. However, for optimizing governments, the model predicts an inverse association between g/y and the rates of growth and saving.

Book Synopsis Taxation and Endogenous Growth in Open Economies by : Mr.Gian Milesi-Ferretti
Download or read book Taxation and Endogenous Growth in Open Economies written by Mr.Gian Milesi-Ferretti and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1994-07-01 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the effects of taxation of human capital, physical capital and foreign assets in a multi-sector model of endogenous growth. It is shown that in general the growth rate is reduced by taxes on capital and labor (human capital) income. When the government faces no borrowing constraints and is able to commit to a given set of present and future taxes, it is shown that the optimal tax plan involves high taxation of both capital and labor in the short run. This allows the government to accumulate sufficient assets to finance spending without any recourse to distortionary taxation in the long run. When restrictions to government borrowing and lending are imposed, the model implies that human and physical capital should be taxed similarly.

Book Synopsis The Design of Fiscal Reform Packages by : Andrew Hodge
Download or read book The Design of Fiscal Reform Packages written by Andrew Hodge and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2016-08-20 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the impact on growth, welfare, and government debt of fiscal reform packages in a theoretical model drawing together three key features of the endogenous growth literature: (i) investment in technology (in the form of human capital) offsets diminishing marginal productivity of private capital, allowing for perpetual growth in output per capita; (ii) changes in investment behavior because of cuts to distortionary tax rates impact long-run growth; and (iii) public capital has a role influencing total factor productivity and growth. A quantitative simulation using reasonable parameter values suggests that modest capital and/or labor income tax cuts and public investment increases have significant positive effects on consumer welfare but small effects on per capita income growth, where fiscal costs are offset by reductions in unproductive government spending. Capital income tax cuts and public investment increases continue to boost welfare when offset by consumption tax rises (rather than spending cuts), although the welfare benefits of modest labor income tax cuts are outweighed by the costs of a compensating consumption tax increase.
Book Synopsis Optimal Government Spending and Taxation in Endgenous Growth Models by : Nouriel Roubini
Download or read book Optimal Government Spending and Taxation in Endgenous Growth Models written by Nouriel Roubini and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes optimal spending, tax and financial policies in models of endogenous growth where public spending is productive. We extend previous work in four directions. First, we analyze optimal policies when the government is allowed to borrow and lend, rather than being restricted to run a balanced budget in every period. Second, we develop a model with a separate human capital accumulation sector. Therefore, the properties of optimal policies depend on whether government spending affects the productivity of the final goods sector or the human capital accumulation sector. Third, we consider the policy implications of alternative assumptions about which factor of production benefits from the external effects of productive public goods. Fourth, we study the implications of restrictions on the menu of tax instruments available to the policy maker. We contrast optimal tax rates on human and physical capital under different assumptions on technology and distribution. We analyze the welfare properties of public debt and assets
Book Synopsis Taxation, Government Spending and Economic Growth by : Philip Booth
Download or read book Taxation, Government Spending and Economic Growth written by Philip Booth and published by London Publishing Partnership. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amidst the debates about ‘austerity’ a number of vital debates in public finance have been sidelined. Because the reductions in government spending – small though they have been so far- have been designed to reduce the government’s borrowing requirement, there has been little discussion of whether the size of the state should be reduced in order to facilitate long-run reductions in the burden of taxation. This book traces the history of the growth of the size of the state over the last 100 years whilst also making international comparisons. There is a particular focus on recent and projected future developments which shows that, though the total level of government spending has not decreased significantly in recent years, there has been a big redirection of spending from some areas to others. The authors then examine the evidence on the relationship between taxation and economic growth. As well as reviewing recent literature, they also undertake new modelling that higher taxes are detrimental for growth. In the final part of the book, the whole UK tax system is reconsidered in a proper economic framework. The UK has one of the world’s most complex tax systems and its incoherence has increased over the last five years. Sweeping reforms are proposed to the system which wold involve abolishing around 20 taxes and the development of a simple, predictable tax system based on principles that should gain wide acceptance.

Book Synopsis Tax Policy Implications in Endogenous Growth Models by : Bin Xu
Download or read book Tax Policy Implications in Endogenous Growth Models written by Bin Xu and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1994-03 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper surveys the tax policy implications in various endogenous growth models. The focus is on the long-run growth effects of income, consumption, and investment taxation in models whose engine of growth is the accumulation of human capital, technological innovation, and/or public infrastructure. The results depend on model specifications. This paper also reviews quantitative results from cross-country regressions and simulations, and indicates some statistical and methodological problems to which they are subject. Tax policy implications in endogenous growth models both with tax policy endogenously determined by a political process and with international capital mobility are also discussed.
Book Synopsis Output Taxation, Human Capital and Growth by : Rosa Capolupo

Book excerpt: In this paper we investigate the long-run effects of government spending and taxation in an endogenous growth setting. The model is a variant of Barro's model ('Government Expenditure in a Simple Model of Endogenous Growth', Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 98, 1990, pp. S103-S125) and Lucas's model ('On the Mechanics of Economic Development', Journal of Monetary Economics, Vol. 22, 1988, pp. 3-42) in which human capital accumulation is driven by government spending on public education. To balance the budget the government levies a tax on output in two alternative specifications of the human capital accumulation equation. The results consolidate some recent findings that taxation, when it is used for productive purposes, may lead to faster growth. Growth rates increase with taxes up to a level around 60-70 percent.
Book Synopsis Expenditure Composition and Distortionary Tax for Equitable Economic Growth by : Hyun Park
Download or read book Expenditure Composition and Distortionary Tax for Equitable Economic Growth written by Hyun Park and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2006-06 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper continues the study of optimal fiscal policy in a growing economy by exploring a case in which the government simultaneously provides three main categories of expenditures with distortionary tax finance: public production services, public consumption services, and state-contingent redistributive transfers. The paper shows that in a general equilibrium model with given exogenous fiscal policy, a nonlinear relation exists between the suboptimal longrun growth rate in a competitive economy and distortionary tax rates. When fiscal policy is endogenously chosen at a social optimum, the relation between the rate of growth and tax rates is always negative. These two conclusions suggest that the interaction between fiscal policy and growth may be complicated enough that it cannot be captured in a simple linear model using an aggregate measure of fiscal policy. The sources of nonlinearity include expectation and coordination of fiscal policy, impluse response of government policies, and the presence of positive externality due to government spending.
