The Impact of Taxes in Developed Capitalist Countries

Ronald F. King, Steven I. Jackson, Claudio J. Katz, Vincent A. Mahler and Michael G. Franz

American Political Science Review, 1986, vol. 80, issue 1, 251-257

Abstract: A research question of perennial interest is, “What are the exogenous variables which best account for the differential distribution of income across nations?” Better understanding of the causes of inequalities in income distribution has been sought by investigating the effects of tax policies on income allocation and growth in capitalist countries. The quantitative analyses of these matters have engendered some debate about the adequacy of data, and the sufficiency of measurement. A preliminary foray into this research vineyard by Claudio Katz, Vincent Mahler, and Michael Franz is criticized here by Ronald King and Steven Jackson. In turn, Katz, Mahler, and Franz respond.
