In this paper published in open access in ITAX, M Johnson and I revisit Musgrave et al. (1951) and assess its legacy in public finance over the last 75 years. We find echoes in the methodological debate between Piketty, Saez, Zucman and Auten and Splinter doi.org/10.1007/s107... @iipf.bsky.social

On the 75th anniversary of Musgraveโ€™s distribution of tax payments by income groups - International Tax and Public Finance

Richard Musgrave et al.โ€™s โ€œDistribution of Tax Payments by Income Groupsโ€ (1951) provided the first postwar estimates of the distribution of the fiscal burden, concluding the tax system was not as progressive as statutory rates suggested. Drawing from original archival material, we reconstruct the intellectual context of Musgraveโ€™s study, the methodological debates it gave rise to, and assess its legacy in public finance. The studyโ€™s legacy is examined through the rise of econometric estimation, applied general equilibrium modeling, and microdata-based approaches, as well as its influence on policy institutions in the USA and abroad. Despite major advances in data and modeling, we argue that key issues raised by Musgraveโ€”particularly the definition of the income basis and the incidence of the corporate income taxโ€”remain unresolved. The enduring lack of consensus on a uniquely best method highlights both the empirical and normative challenges at the heart of distributional analysis and explains the studyโ€™s continued relevance in contemporary debates on taxation and income inequality.
