Social tax expenditures in Quebec (Canada)
The purpose of this article is to better understand the architecture of social protection as a complex and evolving system in contemporary societies. To achieve that goal, we establish an inventory of 65 socio‐fiscal expenditures or social tax expenditures (STEs) of Quebec's (Canada) personal income tax system. These include tax expenditures related to social protection insofar as they contribute in one way or another to the protection against ma…
La pandémie immunise-t-elle les Québécois contre l’impôt
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments to create and quickly implement new policies and programs to both mitigate the health effects of the virus and support the income of individuals. Many are wondering whether these income support programs are there to stay or if the current crisis marks a turning point in the debate about the adequate level of intervention by the State. This article tries to establish if public opinion about this issue i…
Differential Returns by Year of Retirement under the Canada Pension Plan
This study examines the realized and projected rates of return for contributors to the Canada Pension Plan from 1968 to 2056. For this purpose, a representative agent was constituted. A steady decline in returns was observed in which the rates of return for the first generation of contributors were markedly higher than those of subsequent generations, primarily on the account of modalities for establishing benefits. The higher contribution rates …
On the Importance of Taking End-of-Life Expenditures into Account when Projecting Health-Care Spending
This paper examines health-care spending projections when the interaction between end-of-life care expenditures and declining mortality is taken explicitly into account. Based on Quebec's historical public health-care spending data and mortality rates for 20 age groups over the period 1998 to 2009, an econometric model is developed with the aim of differentiating “ordinary” health-care spending from end-of-life care expenditures. Numerical simula…
