Stabilizing the Economy Through the Income Tax Code

Listokin, Yair
Abstract
With the stabilization goal resurgent, how should tax policy be changed? Because stabilization has faded as a policy goal, there is little recent analysis of that question. This article offers several recommendations for making the income tax code a better stabilizer of the economy. Some of the recommendations are new, while others represent the resurrection of proposals that were introduced when stabilization was considered a higher priority of tax policy.
