Abstract: The results show that governments increased taxes after national crises. The effect is particularly large for financial crisis and natural disasters, manifests mostly during the first post-crisis year and mainly affects corporate and personal income taxes and the VAT. The increase in tax rates after crises has been accompanied by lower overall economic growth in the aftermath of crises. This was particularly true after financial crises.
