Tax Elasticity Estimates for Capital Stocks
We use panel cointegration techniques to estimate the long-run, tax-adjusted, user cost elasticity of capital (UCE) in a small open economy. The estimates exploit three sources of variation in Canadian tax policy: across provinces, industries, and years. The UCE is estimated to be between -1.1 and -1.3 for machinery and equipment. We also provide semielasticities of capital with respect to marginal effective tax rates (METR). Our construction of …

An Empirical Model of Tax Convexity and Self-Employment
Do progressive marginal income tax rates discourage self-employment? We assume risk neutrality to construct an implicit surtax on stochastic income relative to steady income, arising from a convex tax schedule. It is computed as part of a structural probit model with earnings equations and a tax simulator. The tax convexity variable and the net-of-tax income difference between self- and paid employment have the predicted signs and high levels of …

Taxing Hydroelectricity in Ontario
Using data from the financial statements of Ontario Hydro and an observed cost of importing electricity to the province, we provide an estimate of the hydroelectric rent that is potentially available in Ontario as tax revenue. Our results suggest that the existing water charges in Ontario can be raised ten-fold to capture this rent. We assess the impact that fully taxing the rent would have on the prices of electricity and manufacturing products,…
