Tax Policy and the Economy, Volume 20 Edited by James M. Poterba  Table of ContentsThis NBER series presents current academic research findings in the areas of taxation and government spending.

Topics include: the distribution of the corporate income tax burden; tax incentives for entrepreneurship; the effect of the Earned Income Tax Credit on labor supply; refund-splitting as a way to encourage saving by low-income households; the concentration of variable annuity ownership households in high tax brackets; and new evidence on the fiscal health of the federal government that takes the Medicare prescription drug benefit into account.
