The tax system profoundly affects countless aspects of private
behavior. It is a powerful policy influence on the distribution of
income and it is the one aspect of government that almost every
citizen cannot avoid. With tax reform high on the political agenda,
this book brings together studies of leading tax economists and
lawyers to assess the various reform proposals and examine the
effects of tax reform in several distinct areas. Together, these
studies and comments on them present a balanced evaluation of
professional opinion on the issues that will be critical in the tax
reform debate. The book addresses annual and lifetime
distributional effects, saving, investment, transitional problems,
simplification, home ownership and housing prices, charitable
groups, international taxation, financial intermediaries and
insurance, labor supply, and health insurance. In addition to Henry
Aaron and William Gale, the contributors include Alan Auerbach,
University of California, Berkeley; David Bradford, Princeton
University; Charles Clotfelter, Duke University; Eric Engen,
Federal Reserve; Don Fullerton, University of Texas; Jon Gruber,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Patric Hendershott, Ohio
State; David Ling, University of Florida; Ronald Perlman, Covington
& Burling; Diane Lim Rogers, Congressional Budget Office; John
Karl Scholz, University of Wisconsin; Joel Slemrod, University of
Michigan; and Robert Triest, University of California, Davis.
