Critics Review
“The theory of taxation is often dense with technical detail, making it easy to lose sight of the key results. In this book, Bernard Salanie has once again distilled the essential insights of tax theory in the elegant, intuitive, and precise fashion that is his hallmark. This edition covers much new ground, providing a nice treatment of recent work on dynamic models and several new applications. It will be an essential reference for students of tax policy.” – Raj Chetty, Professor of Economics, Harvard University “In this new edition, Bernard Salanie provides a concise yet comprehensive review of the fundamentals of the economics of taxation. Covering recent theoretical developments and at the same time offering a fresh discussion of important policy issues, the book offers a broad and up-to-date perspective.” – Alan J. Auerbach, Robert D. Burch Professor of Economics and Law, University of California, Berkeley
