Fascinating paper by @grattonecon.bsky.social, @bartonelee2.bsky.social, and Hasin Yousaf!
The paper addresses a fundamental question: Why do some democracies chronically avoid ambitious, long-term reforms even when they have decent institutions?
They argue that what matters is not only

My latest Economics Explained column in the Australian Financial Review points out that company taxes fall mainly on households. That they hit young, low-skilled, and female workers the hardest. And that they made the income tax schedule 40% less progressive.
