本文考察了自19世纪世纪以来西方经济体采用所得税的情况。我们确定了两个挑战现有税收和再分配模型预测的经验主义:虽然选举权水平低和土地持有不平等程度高的国家首先采用所得税,但选举规则更广泛的国家在采用这些新的税收形式方面落后。我们提出了一个解释所得税采用,占这些经验不足。我们讨论了与不同因素的所有者相关的政治家最重要的经济考虑,即部门之间的税收负担转移,并研究了预先存在的选举规则如何影响这些政治计算。本文提供了这一论点的跨国测试和微观历史的测试,研究支持通过1842年在英国的所得税的经济和政治的决定因素。
This article examines the adoption of income taxes in Western economies since the 19th century. We identify two empirical regularities that challenge predictions of existing models of taxation and redistribution: While countries with low levels of electoral enfranchisement and high levels of landholding inequality adopt the income tax first, countries with more extensive electoral rules lag behind in adopting these new forms of taxation. We propose an explanation of income tax adoption that accounts for these empirical regularities. We discuss the most important economic consideration of politicians linked to owners of different factors, namely, the shift of the tax burden between sectors, and examine how preexisting electoral rules affect these political calculations. The article provides both a cross-national test of this argument and a microhistorical test that examines the economic and political determinants of support for the adoption of the income tax in 1842 in Britain.
