Structural breaks, debt limits and the tax smoothing hypothesis: theory and evidence from the OECD countries

Empirical Economics, 2019

Instead expenditures are financed by debt and a constant tax stream is maintained. This thesis explores if TSH holds for Pakistan and finds evidence of Tax Smoothing from 1976-2014 as tax rate ...
