The American tax system stands at a crossroads. In addition to longstanding arguments over the tax code and budget deficits, there are new concerns raisedby Washington's expensive plan to repair the troubled economy, proposals to address global warming, and the scheduled expiration of the 2001 and 2003tax cuts at the end of 2010. As they make pivotal decisions on these issues, what lessons can the Obama administration and the new Congress draw from>Tax Policy Lessons from the 2000s brings together the most up-to-dateresearch available on tax policy with trenchant analysis by America's leadingeconomists. The authors explore the role taxes should play in setting environmental policy; the effect of tax rate increases on labor supply and reportedtaxable income; the economic impact of deficit-financed tax reductions; andthe effect of the tax system on businesses' financial and investment decisions.During the 2000s, economists gained many valuable insights about howtaxes affect economic behavior. Drawing on a decade's worth of theoreticalmodels, statistical studies, and observations, the authors provide a map ofthe progress that has been made and the work that is yet to be done. Thisvolume is an invaluable guide for policymakers facing important decisionsabout environmental taxation, marginal tax rates, dividend taxation, and thetaxation of business investment.
