Description

The US Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates that in 2018, little more than a third of business income wasn't reported in tax filings. That's roughly $700 billion. Policymakers have long railed against the tax gap with little success. Economist Ellen McGrattan lays out a dynamic theory of business taxation, and she uses the framework to tease out the impact of two potential reforms, higher business taxes, and greater tax enforcement.
