Synopsis

Taxation and Economic Behaviour offers a number of broad introductory surveys in the areas of public economics and public finance. Divided clearly into two parts - measurement issues and taxation and economic behavior - this innovative collection of articles consists of published refereed papers and several new and previously unpublished pieces.

Initially, the book focuses on measurement issues, and includes chapters on income inequality, poverty, tax progressivity, income dynamics and welfare changes. It then goes on to explore the wider theme of taxation and economic behavior, including material on taxation and labor supply, behavioral micro simulation modeling, and general equilibrium. Throughout the book, John Creedy makes use of numerical examples which help to illustrate the structure and use of the various models.

Providing introductory material and syntheses of a wide range of topics, Taxation and Economic Behaviour will be welcomed by students, teachers and researchers with an interest in public finance and public sector economics.
