Chapter 2 in The Elasticity of Taxable Income, 2022, pp 11-28 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter provides an introductory treatment of the elasticity of taxable income concept and associated analytical results, such as the excess burden of taxation. Stress is placed on the assumptions involved in specifying a reduced-form relationship and in obtaining welfare results. Major features are reinforced by numerical examples which help to give some idea of the orders of magnitude involved, and their sensitivity to changes in parameters. Furthermore, motivation for the use of the elasticity of taxable income concept is provided by clarifying the difficulties involved in attempting to extend the standard structural approach to the analysis of labour supply to cover a wider range of tax responses.
