1 Can tax cuts restore economic growth in bad times? Alex Ziegenbein Universitat Pompeu Fabra & Barcelona GSE SAEe December 14, 217

2 Background Tax cuts often implemented to bring output back to potential Recent evidence: large effects of tax cuts on GDP on average Romer & Romer (21), Mertens & Ravn (211, 212, 214), Favero & Giavazzi (212), Perotti (212) No evidence how these effects vary over the business cycle This paper: can tax cuts restore growth during bad times?

3 Background When are tax multipliers large? 1. Wealth effect: tax cut stimulates aggregate demand Effect large when crowding-out small 2. Substitution effect: tax cut stimulates labor supply Effect large when labor market tightness / hiring cost high

4 This paper Study state-dependent effects of tax shocks using US data Main findings: Good times: tax shocks have large effects on output Bad times: tax shocks have small and insignificant effects Holds for two leading identification strategies Holds for variety of alternative specifications Holds for both personal and corporate income tax shocks

5 Contributions 1. New empirical finding Good times: tax shocks have large effects on output Bad times: tax shocks have small and insignificant effects 2. Search & matching model with endogenous search effort Unemployment low: tax shocks have large effects on output Unemployment high: tax shocks have small effects on output

6 Empirical framework Two components 1. Local projections (Jordá, 25) Estimates more robust to model misspecification than in VAR No assumption needed on how the shock affects the state 2. Key identification assumption Narrative measure correlates with latent tax shock Narrative measure is uncorrelated with other structural shocks

7 Narrative measure of tax shocks : 1947Q16Q4 Romer & Romer, 21 Exogenous Tax Changes (% of GDP) RR t : 45 shocks, RR =, SD(RR) =.5, 25 positive, 2 negative

14 Understanding the state-dependent effects of tax shocks Intuition Focus on household reaction to income taxation 74% of federal tax revenue from income taxes Main effect is a substitution effect (Barro & Redlick, 211) Good times: labor market is tight, difficult to fill vacancies Tax cut can reduce tightness and increase hiring Bad times: labor demand depressed, easy to fill vacancies Tax cut incentivizing labor supply is ineffective

15 Search & matching with endogenous job-search effort Mechanism & empirical evidence Good times: labor demand high / unemployment low Good times: hiring cost is high / search frictions matter Landais, Michaillat & Saez (216) Income tax cut jobseekers job-search effort Gentry & Hubbard (24) Search effort tightness & hiring cost employment Crepon, Duflo, Gurgand, Rathelot, Zamora (213), Gautier, Rosholm, Svarer, van der Klaauw (212) Search effort has large effect when search frictions matter Small effect in bad times & large effect in good times Toohey (217)

16 Search & matching with endogenous job-search effort Steady-state equilibrium " #, = # ', -,. (-) (-) (+) { { { # $ = # ', ) $ (+) (+) { { Labor market tightness $ $ = $ ', *+ (+) (+) { { Employment!

17 Good times and bad Comparative steady-states analysis Good times: high A steady-state, labor demand is high Bad times: low A steady-state, labor demand is low As in Hall (25) the wage is fixed I compare effects of tax cut in low A and high A steady-state

18 Effect of a tax cut " Bad times, low A # " Good times, high A # Labor market tightness d! Labor market tightness %! dθ dθ Employment! Employment!

19 Tax multiplier Tax multiplier is increasing in A M dl dτ = Ls τ (ɛ s /ɛ d ) L and θ higher in high A steady-state ɛ s ( L s / θ) (θ/l s ) > decreasing in A L s steeper in high A steady-state ɛ d ( L d / θ) (θ/l d ) > increasing in A L d flatter in high A steady-state L s / τ > is increasing in A Effect of τ on s is high, when f (θ) is high

20 Discussion Main findings: Good times: tax shocks have large effects on output Bad times: tax shocks have small and insignificant effects Interpretation: Bad times: search frictions do not matter much An income tax cut incentivizes search effort & is ineffective Policy should address low labor demand (payroll tax) Calibrated version of the model: Effect of a tax cut triples when u t moves from 8% to 5%
