This volume presents six new studies on current topics in taxation
and government spending. The first study looks at the costs of
income tax filing, which have risen over time because of the
numerous tax forms families have to fill out when filing their
taxes and because of increased costs of itemizing deductions, and
explores ways to simplify filing and reduce those costs. The second
study investigates the design of income tax schedules when there is
uncertainty about the way taxation affects household behavior. The
third study provides new and comprehensive estimates of the impact
of the US Earned Income Tax Credit on the employment of low-income
men and women, finding that the large majority of the various
expansions of that credit over the last forty years have increased
employment of single mothers. The fourth study reviews the
structure of business taxation in China and describes a number of
tax distortions and potential inefficiencies in the system. The
next paper considers how the Affordable Care Act has affected the
health insurance and labor market choices of individuals who are
between the ages of 60 and 64, and it finds increases in insurance
coverage and reductions in employment for some groups. The last
study considers how reimbursement rates for health care providers
under various government insurance programs affect providers'
willingness to take on new patients and expand their patient
capacity.
