On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This paper builds and analyzes a new global macro-historical database of ef- fective tax rates on labor and capital in 155 countries. Effective capital tax rates fell in developed countries between 1965 and 2018, but rose in developing countries since the mid-1990s. Event-studies and instrumental variable regressions show that a significant share of the rise in developing countries can be explained by trade openness, which increases the share of output produced in large corpora- tions, where effective capital taxation is higher. In contrast to a commonly held view, globalization appears in many countries to have supported governments’ ability to tax capital.
