Abstract

Are taxes an important determinant of business activity? If they are, what are the implications for public policy? The four surveys of this volume provide a detailed description of the current state of knowledge for specialists in tax policy. In this essay we develop some of the common themes. We discuss how taxes affect investment, risk-taking and financial decisions.
