Y Berman & E Klor show that temporary tax holidays may generate substantial short-run revenues but also encourage taxpayers to postpone future distributions if they expect similar relief again. Policymakers should consider how policy shapes tomorrow's expectations. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Figure shows the top 1% income share in Israel. The top 1% share is total gross income of the top 1% divided by total reported income. The counterfactual adds back the dividend income estimated to have been retained because of the 2017 reform. The reform years 2011 and 2017 are excluded. 

Governments increasingly look to capital income for both revenue and redistribution. This column compares two dividend tax reforms in Israel – a permanent rate increase and a temporary one-year cut – to examine how high-income taxpayers can adjust the timing and labelling of dividends in ways that undermine reform. Both produced immediate surges of more than 100% in reported dividends and tax revenue. But only the temporary reform left a lasting mark: payouts fell sharply once the relief expired, as firms retained earnings in anticipation of future cuts. Because undistributed profits are not recorded as personal income, the resulting rise in retained earnings also made top-income inequality appear to fall.

Excited for tomorrow: the 7th Workshop on the Economics and Politics of Migration kicks off in Rome! We're happy to co-organize this fantastic event together with @cepr.org , @ebrd.bsky.social, and Sapienza University. We’ve got a great program lined up 👇 cepr.org/system/files...

🚨 New WP w/ @leonardocarella.bsky.social on OSF doi.org/10.31235/osf... We usually think that social identities precede preferences We show the reverse is also true: people update their social identities to match their immigration preferences Focus: class identity in 🇬🇧 + Christian identity in 🇮🇹
