  • Is the Euro Sustainable – and What If Not?
    IS THE EURO SUSTAINABLE – AND WHAT IF NOT? MARCH 14, 2018 ESMT BERLIN, GERMANY IS THE EURO SUSTAINABLE – MARCH 14, 2018 AND WHAT IF NOT? ESMT BERLIN Considerable actions at the EU level and by the European Central Bank have been tak- en to make the Eurozone economically resilient. While the economic risks may have been banned, electoral events in recent years, including the Brexit vote, have made it clear that the euro system might come under attack from other directions. The probability of such political shocks occuring might have diminished in recent years, but the possibility of such events to threaten the system cannot be completely excluded. It is therefore important to understand the adverse impacts that such events can entail. This high-level international conference addresses the question of political resilience, the devastating economic experi- ences from comparable events in the past, and actions and remedies that should be taken in case such events occur in the future.

  • Is It Labour Or Capital Owners Who Bear the Burden of Corporate Taxation? Page 1 of 4
    LSE Business Review: Is it labour or capital owners who bear the burden of corporate taxation? Page 1 of 4 Is it labour or capital owners who bear the burden of corporate taxation? The incidence of corporate taxation is a key issue in tax policy debates. According to surveys, most people think that capital owners bear the burden of corporate taxation. Since capital owners usually have high incomes, this suggests that the corporate tax is highly progressive. Business lobbyists challenge this view and argue that the tax reduces investment so that labour productivity and wages decline, which means that workers bear the tax burden. Most economists take a middle ground and think that the tax burden is shared between labour and capital. But even among researchers in the field, there is substantial disagreement about how much of the burden is shifted to workers. The main reason is that credible empirical evidence on the causal effect of corporate taxes on wages is scarce. Some studies compare wage growth in countries after corporate tax reforms to wage growth in other countries where no reforms take place. The trouble is that wage growth differs between countries for many reasons, and isolating the effect of the tax reform is challenging. In addition, countries do not change tax rates very often. Other studies focus on single countries and compare sectors or firms that face different tax burdens. Here the challenge is that the tax burden itself is usually influenced by the behaviour of firms. In our paper, we avoid these difficulties by exploiting the specific institutional setting of the German local business tax (LBT) to identify the corporate tax incidence on wages.
