OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Globalization and Factor Income Taxation
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.
