The impact of financial transaction taxes: new evidence

Jean-Edouard Colliard and Peter Hoffmann

Research Bulletin, 2015, vol. 22, 17-20

Abstract: The recent financial crisis has reignited interest in the long-standing idea of a financial transaction tax (FTT). While such a policy has become politically viable, the underlying economic rationales remain all but clear-cut. This article provides a brief review of the debate on FTTs and presents empirical evidence from a recent policy experiment in France. JEL Classification: G10, G14, G18, H32
