Distributional Analysis of Tax Policy

By David F. Bradford

Book Overview

This definitive collection pulls back the curtain on how the U.S. government actually calculates who wins and loses under tax policy, as economist David F. Bradford assembles top Treasury, CBO, and Joint Committee on Taxation insiders to expose the hidden flaws in burden tables, distributional analysis, tax incidence, capital gains debates, generational accounting, and the consumption-versus-income tax divide, a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the real mechanics behind U.S. tax and transfer policy.

This book provides numerous essays that explore ways to refine the use of tax-burden tables in making tax policy.
