Occupy The Tax Code: Using The Estate Tax To Reduce Inequality And Spur Economic Growth, James R. Repetti, Paul L. Caron
James R. Repetti
Inequality has been increasing in the United States. We should care about this increase because inequality contributes to a variety of adverse social consequences that persist across generations. There is also substantial empirical evidence that inequality has a long-term negative impact on economic growth. For many decades, federal tax policy has played an important role in reducing inequality, although the impact of federal taxes on inequality has waxed and waned depending on the focus of elected officials. We argue that the estate tax is a particularly apt vehicle to reduce inequality because inheritances are a major source of wealth among …

The Misuse Of Tax Incentives To Align Management-Shareholder Interests, James R. Repetti
The Misuse Of Tax Incentives To Align Management-Shareholder Interests, James R. Repetti
James R. Repetti
