Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We eliminate many complicated features of a computable general equilibrium model, and reevaluate several reforms of capital taxation. Results of the simple model are surprisingly similar. Welfare gains depend more on a key unknown elasticity than on all the additional modeling complications combined.
