Public Finance Quarterly, 1982
This article examines the hypothesis that more income-elastic tax structures lead to higher levels and rates of growth of public expenditure because of a fiscal illusion effect. Although support for this hypothesis has been garnered at the state and federal level, the effects of tax elasticity on local public expenditures become clouded in light of ...

Elasticity of Household Expenditure on Education in Rural India

South Asia Economic Journal, 2002
Using a national household survey data on rural India, the article estimates coefficients of elasticity to examine two important questions on the nature of household expenditure on education: how do households behave in spending on education, given a change in their levels of economic development; and whether households complement or substitute public

The extensive macro labor supply elasticity: Integrating taxes and expenditures

European Economic Review, 2020
Abstract This paper shows that accounting for certain public expenditures is crucial when comparing labor tax system efficiencies across countries. To measure the extensive margin response to taxation, I assemble a large cross-country dataset consisting of the employment ratios, the average effective tax rates, the out-of-work benefits (transfers ...

This paper estimates the elasticities of government revenue and expenditure items with respect to the output gap for European Union (EU) countries. These elasticities are used by the European Commission, as part of the EU fiscal surveillance process, to calculate the semi-elasticity of the budget balance as a percentage of GDP with respect to the ...

Service Expenditure and Intertemporal Elasticity of Substitution in Japan [PDF]

, 2014
In this paper, we employ a cointegration approach to empirically analyze consumer behavior related to service expenditure in Japan. The model we employ is a CRRA utility function considering service and non-durable expenditures. The ratio of service expenditure reached 50% in the 1980s in Japan, and it has been increasing.

Determining Black Expenditure Patterns Using Elasticity Coefficients: Developing a Profile

2015
The purpose of this paper is to draw an expenditure profile of black consumers and to develop a model to measure the purchasing patterns of blacks. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics is analyzed using an income elasticity model based on Engel curves to establish elasticity coefficients for expenditure patterns by blacks.
