Evidence Corps Internship Program | Taxation Policy Research – Professor Anders Jensen (Remote with focus on Rwanda)
Funding: Funded by HKS | Evidence for Policy Design
Application Deadline: February 14th, 2022
Location: Remote with project focused on Rwanda
Fiscal externalities (FE) are an important by‐product of tax reforms: following a rate change applied to an initial tax base, FEs measure the change in revenue collection on other tax bases, arising from taxpayer responses to the reform. In policy debates, the existence of sizeable FEs is often presented as one of the main arguments by supply‐side economists to argue that tax cuts pay for themselves. If FEs on other bases exist, they should be incorporated into the welfare assessment of any tax reform. In this paper, we measure the fiscal externalities of tariff reforms on domestic tax collection in Rwanda. We take advantage of a unique dataset containing all foreign trade transactions merged with firm‐to‐firm Network transactions for the universe of formal firms. The research fellow will help with writing summaries of the relevant international trade policy and academic literatures, as well as contribute to the empirical analysis...(learn more).
