الملخص: | Using a representative survey of the German population, this paper studies self-reported individual consumption responses to a recent payroll tax reduction. About 55 per cent of the respondents report that they spend the extra money, indicating considerable potential for tax changes to affect consumption and economic activity. Our analysis of the socio-demographic and economic covariates of consumption responses suggests, among other effects, that interest rates are related to consumption responses to tax changes, and that households with higher income have a higher propensity to consume. |
