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.

Jonathan Portes & @johnspringford.bsky.social find that the decision to leave the EU made only a modest difference to the number of foreign born workers in Britain, but led to a dramatic shift in their countries of origin. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

The figure shows the non-EU workers in the UK with the Brexit referendum and introduction of the new migration regime marked. The counterfactual is shown in red.

How did Brexit impact the UK labour market? This column uses synthetic differences-in-differences to estimate how Brexit changed the trajectory of foreign-born employment. The authors find that ending free movement and introducing a new immigration system in 2021 led to a modest rise in the number of foreign-born workers in the UK, but a dramatic shift in their countries of origin.

New in @bjpols.bsky.social! Dave Hope, @lhaffert.bsky.social and I show that low taxes on the rich have a hidden cost: They undermine public support for broad-based taxation. 🖋️ cup.org/45lgPwN

How does tax regressivity at the top affect public support for taxation? In this article, we run an information provision experiment in the United States with a quota-representative sample of around 4,000 people and randomly present respondents with factual information about total tax rates by income group. We find that informing respondents that the superrich pay lower total tax rates than other people not only increases support for raising taxes on the rich but also lowers support for taxing the middle class. Our results highlight an important hidden cost of tax regressivity at the top: if left unaddressed, it risks undermining public support for broad-based taxation.

Pierre-Louis Vezina, Cevat Giray Aksoy, and Piotr Lewandowski show that, far from displacing local businesses, Ukrainian refugees in Poland sparked an entrepreneurial boom as they inspired Polish entrepreneurs and created new supply chain opportunities. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Figure shows the number of firms registered with Ukrainian owners. Data from the National Court Register (KRS) and Central Register and Information on Business Activity (CEIDG).

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, over a million Ukrainian refugees fled to Poland. This column shows that far from displacing local businesses, these refugees sparked an entrepreneurial boom. Ukrainians started nearly 39,000 firms in just two years. In addition, every 10% increase in Ukrainian firm registrations triggered a 2.3% rise in Polish entrepreneurship. Survey data reveal two mechanisms driving this multiplier effect: Ukrainian businesses inspired Polish entrepreneurs to launch similar ventures, and Ukrainian firms created new supply chain opportunities with local partners.
