Distributional Analysis Of Tax Policy
(David F. Bradford)
The essays in this volume assess the current state of distributional analysis in the policy process and suggest improvements that could soon be implemented. David F. Bradford is a professor of economics and public affairs, Princeton University, and an adjunct scholar at AEI. Excerpts from his introduction follow.
The distribution of tax burdens is a central aspect of tax policy. Changes in the tax rules redistribute after-tax income and wealth among people in a variety of ways. Some are obvious, as when an increase in the top income-tax-bracket rates raises the burdens on high-income individuals. Some are much more difficult to identify, as when a change in depreciation rules affects the relative profitability of different industries and thereby the fortunes of the owners, workers, customers, and suppliers of different businesses.
