我们评估了美国税收政策改革对不平等的影响,通过应用一种新的分解方法,使我们能够从市场收入变化的影响中分离出直接的政策影响。在整个1979-2007年期间,累积的税收政策效应增加了最高20%的收入份额,而不是中产阶级的份额,从而加剧了收入不平等。税收政策效应占不平等总变化的29%;如果我们考虑行为反应,其贡献增加到41%。利用我们独特的政策效果衡量标准和美国各州和时间的税收政策变化,我们还确定了政策制定者的再分配意图。党派政治对美国收入分配的估计影响在统计上是显著的,在经济上也是重要的。共和党政策制定者增加了不平等,特别是在顶部,而民主党人增加了底层80%的收入分配份额。
We assess the effects of U.S. tax policy reforms on inequality by applying a new decomposition method that allows us to disentangle the direct policy effect from the effect of changing market incomes. Over the whole period 1979-2007 the cumulative tax policy effect aggravated income inequality by increasing the income share of the top 20% in contrast to the middle class' share. The tax policy effect accounts for up to 29% of the total change in inequality; its contribution increases up to 41% if we take into account behavioral responses. Using our unique policy effect measure and variation in tax policies across U.S. states and time, we also identify the redistributive intention of policymakers. The estimated effect of partisan politics on the U.S. income distribution is statistically significant and economically important. Republican policymakers increased inequality especially at the top whereas Democrats increased the income share of the bottom 80% of the distribution.
