Cge Models and Capital Income Tax Reforms

The book suggests a novel way how the effects of tax reforms especially in the field of capital income taxation can be measured by means of dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. Using a model calibrated to the German economy, the author evaluates and quantifies the effects of introducing a Dual Income Tax (DIT) in Germany. This tax reform is a currently hotly debated topic in Germany and has been suggested both by the German Council of Economic Advisors (GCEA) and by Prof. Hans-Werner Sinn. Thus, the book is of great interest not only for the academic but also for the business world and politics.Radulescu, Doina Maria is the author of 'Cge Models and Capital Income Tax Reforms', published 2007 under ISBN 9783540733195 and ISBN 3540733191.
