    Corporate tax cuts probably increase income inequality. http://papers.nber.org/conf_papers/f114781/f114781.pdf … But they also probably increase innovation. http://papers.nber.org/conf_papers/f115062/f115062.pdf …

        Noah, consider how large firms, with the aid of Govt regulations, are suppressing competition and innovation.

        Replying to @Noahpinion

        Why do we assume that it’s low tax rates that increase innovation and not proximity to knowledge hubs? There are currently plenty of low tax nations with little to no innovation. Meanwhile it’s not like the US didn’t have massive innovation in the period between 1945 and 1980.

        Right but there was a markedly large increase in innovation and entrepreneurship throughout the 80s and into the 90s

        That may have been coincidental in a static model. Alternately there may be a model of cascading innovation where lower taxes = more money for R&D = more innovation. I could buy this model. Both models still rely on knowledge hubs to capitalize on this tax advantage.

        Increased innovation in tax avoidance/evasion as well, I’d wager.

        That doesn't sound right. Companies were already sitting on piles of cash not used for "innovation". The money was used for stock buy backs, not innovation.

        Ok, but with increasing inequality who’s going to benefit of the innovation?

        California has a much higher tax rate than, say, Florida and far more innovation. States with higher tax rates innovate much, much more--the empirical evidence is contrary to the second paper that is loaded with assumptions, suppositions and tangential relationships.

        Nallareddy-Rouen-Serrato is persuasive bc they add to a growing corpus of findings indicating owners, not workers, capture the larger part of corporate income increases. 1/

        Alcigit-Grigsby-Nicholas-Stantcheva don’t persuade me. They confuse patents granted with innovations. The two are quite different. Patents use government protections to capture & exploit monopolies & to discourage ideas competing with the patented idea. 2/end

        If increasing inequality comes from more productivity, then good.
