CEPR Reports and Issue Briefs from Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR)

Abstract: As financial transactions taxes (FTT) have moved to be part of the mainstream debate on tax policy, there has been increased attention to the incidence of such taxes. This is an important aspect to the debate, since the merits of the tax will depend to a substantial extent on who will end up bearing the burden.
