Irving Fisher's Spendings (Consumption) Tax in Retrospect
Irving Fisher wrote a significant number of papers towards the end of his career on the design of the U.S. tax system. These writings culminated in a book that he wrote with his brother Herbert in 1942. Fisher thought that the double taxation of saving under an income tax was extremely harmful to the economy and he therefore proposed a "spendings" tax or what he referred to as a "real income" tax. Even though he disliked the terminology, he advoc…

Real Interest Rates and the Savings and Loan Crisis
Real interest rates shifted upwards by four or five percentage points in approximately 1980. The question is why. In this paper we review some of the more popular explanations and point out that they are somewhat inconsistent with the facts. We then present a new explanation which may partially account for the dramatic increase. We suggest that the upward shift in rates may be directly connected with the decade-long crisis in the savings and loan…

Government Policy towards Industry in the United States and Japan
Cash Distributions to Shareholders
Economists have long been puzzled by why firms pay dividends when alternative methods of rewarding shareholders and financiers exist which involve less taxes. This paper will highlight the fact that firms can distribute cash to equity holders in ways more lightly taxed than dividends. The two methods we examine are share repurchase programs and cash-financed mergers and acquisitions. So why should cash distributions from firms to shareholders eve…
Issues in Pension Economics
In the past several decades, pension plans have become one of the most significant institutional influences on labor and financial markets in the U.S. In an effort to understand the economic effects of this growth, the National Bureau of Economic Research embarked on a major research project in 1980. Issues in Pension Economics , the third in a series of four projected volumes to result from thsi study, covers a broad range of pension issues and …

The Incidence and Efficiency Effects of Taxes on Income from Capital
This article reexamines the incidence and efficiency cost of the discriminatory taxation of capital income in the United States. It is argued that Harberger's 1966 estimates of the static welfare loss were subject to two important mistakes. Their correction lowers the efficiency cost estimates approximately 38 percent. The paper also compares the corrected results of the Harberger model with those achieved with an algorithmic solution procedure f…
