Efficient Revenue Sharing and Upper-Level Governments: Theory and Application to Germany

A subsequent…
A Simulation Method to Measure the Effective Tax Rate on Highly Skilled Labor
A model is presented for simulating the level of taxes imposed on highly skilled labor. The effective average tax rate, defined as the relative wedge between employment costs and disposable income, is computed. Income and payroll taxes and social security contributions not yielding an equivalent benefit are taken into account. The compensation package consists of cash payments and old-age provision. To integrate retirement benefits and their tax …
