This Element provides a broad overview of economic aspects of commodity taxation with a focus on theory and on policy in OECD countries. The authors discuss major research questions and issues, including commodity taxes, international aspects of tax policy, behavioural effects of taxation, and environmental and health policy aspects.
The authors provide a broad overview of economic aspects of commodity taxation, focussing in particular on theory and on policy applications in OECD countries. Some major papers in public economics have discussed whether these taxes should be levied at a uniform rate, or whether different commodities should be taxed differently, for reasons of either equity or efficiency. The authors begin with this question, and then discuss further issues, including the economic incidence of commodity taxes, the properties of the VAT, the taxation of financial services, the international aspects of commodity taxation, and environmental and health policy aspects.
