| | Laffer curve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Laffer curve, popularized and promoted by economist Arthur Laffer and often used to justify tax cuts, is intended to show that government can maximize tax revenue by setting a tax rate at the peak of this curve and that raising tax rates further actually decreases revenue. | | | For instance, in the United States, some claimed that both tax cuts and government spending policies of the 1980s were the cause of large budget deficits. | | | Laffer himself has pointed to Russia and the Baltic states that have recently instituted a flat tax with rates lower than 35%, and their economies started growing right after implementation. |

| | Laffer gained his fame in the 1980s as a proponent of a supply-side economics theory that contends, generally, that government tax revenues will increase at some point if taxes are reduced. | | | Laffer called for Russo to pay for millions of dollars in revenue he wasn't able to make in speaking fees while the tax campaign was under way, Russo says. | | | Laffer agreed to serve on the boards of several embryonic companies in exchange for equity stakes. |

| | Some Observation on the Laffer Curve |
| | Arthur Laffer’s seminal discussion of the relation between tax revenues and “the” tax rate was an analytical cornerstone of the supply-side economics revolution during the early 1980s (see Canto, Joines, and Laffer [1982]). | | | Thus, the shape of the Laffer curve only follows if we assume that the budget is balanced, i.e., taxes will be raised to cover government expenses for wages in the public sector. | | | Figure 1 describes a special case which could easily be interpreted as a Laffer curve if the variable on the abscissa denotes the tax rate and the variable on the ordinate the tax revenues. |

| | Arthur B. Laffer is the founder and chairman of Laffer Associates, an economic research and consulting firm. | | | I used the so-called Laffer Curve all the time in my classes and with anyone else who would listen to me to illustrate the trade-off between tax rates and tax revenues. | | | Between these two extremes there are two tax rates that will collect the same amount of revenue: a high tax rate on a small tax base and a low tax rate on a large tax base. |

| | Fool.com: Laffer's Laugher [Commentary] January 7, 2004 |
| | His eponymous "Laffer Curve" suggested that a reduction in the marginal tax rates would have the effect of increasing tax revenues for the government through increased economic activity and producing incentives for people to dream up money-making, as opposed to tax-avoiding activities. | | | Laffer correctly points out that there is much less incentive for corporations to overstate earnings for tax purposes, since doing so would require them to stroke a larger check to the taxman. | | | Laffer believes that the price the SandP 500 companies under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) -- about 30 times earnings -- is off by a factor of 10. |

| | Laffer drew the famous Laffer curve, which showed that starting from a zero tax rate, increases in tax rates will increase the government's tax revenue; at some point, however, when the rates become high enough, further increases in tax rates will decrease revenue. | | | As chief economist for the Office of Management and Budget (1970–72), Laffer attracted attention for his supply-side economic theories, which held that reductions in federal taxes on businesses and individuals would lead to increased economic growth and in the long run to increased government revenue. | | | Laffer believed that conditions were right for cuts in tax rates that he predicted would increase tax revenues. |

| | But it does not follow from this at all that a tax cut of specific proportions (such as 10 percent three years in a row) will generate a specific amount of new economic activity, supply, and hence tax revenues. | | | He points out that a tax cut by the Kennedy administration increased tax revenues, without asking about the specific circumstances of this tax cut (high unused capacity, shortage of demand and a comparatively low-inflation environment). | | | It would be much less inflationary if the economic growth almost everyone agrees will follow is forth-coming in short order than if a tax cut in Year A yields new revenues largely two, three or more years later. |

| | With a few exceptions, liberal Democrats have opposed the Laffer Curve concept, rejecting the idea that high tax rates could be cut and thus produce more revenues for liberal spending programs. | | | This is because they are reluctant to concede that the economy can expand at the expense of government, especially if the result is a widening of the gap between high incomes and low incomes. | | | Greenspan told me years ago this is a direct tax on the nation's standard of living and he would never hesitate to cut it, even down to zero. |

| | Different River » Arthur Laffer: Myths and Facts |
| | Laffer is the economist known most prominently for pointing out – using a graph now called the “Laffer Curve” – that it’s possible to increase tax revenues by reducing tax rates. | | | Most tax-rate decreases (in the last 50 years, in the U.S.) have been followed by increases in tax revenue, but critics argue that there’s always another cause, and the economy is complex enough that it’s hard conclusively prove them wrong. | | | Myth: “Arthur Laffer is a complete right-wing ideologue.” According to the recent interview and this article in U.S. News & World Report, after serving in the Nixon-Ford administration and serving as a top economic adviser to President Reagan, and running unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for the Senate in 1986, Laffer voted for Clinton twice. |
