Abstract

The paper reviews the controversial measures of "tax effort," updates previous studies, and compares current results to earlier findings. Some trends in taxation are described. A new, broader sample of countries is used to show the vulnerability of absolute tax indices to changes in the sample. However, rankings prove to be relatively stable. /// Dans cette étude, les auteurs examinent la manière controversée de mesurer l'"effort fiscal", mettent à jour les études antérieures et comparent les résultats actuels aux résultats antérieurs. Les auteurs y décrivent certaines tendances de la fiscalité. Ils se servent d'un nouvel échantillon comprenant un plus grand nombre de pays pour montrer à quel point les indices fiscaux absolus sont sensibles aux variations de l'échantillon. Les classements établis s'avèrent, toutefois, relativement stables. /// En este estudio se analizan las discutidas formas de medir el "esfuerzo fiscal", se ponen al día otros estudios anteriores y se comparan los resultados actuales con los anteriormente hallados. Se describen algunas tendencias de la tributación. Se utiliza una muestra nueva y más amplia de países con el fin de comprobar la vulnerabilidad de los índices tributarios absolutos a las variaciones de la muestra. Con todo, el orden de los países en los grupos resultó ser bastante estable.
