The Effect of Taxation on Human Capital

Philip A. Trostel

Abstract

This study finds a significant negative effect of proportional income taxation on human capital. Of the few earlier studies to address this issue, most suggested a negligible effect of taxation on investment in human capital. This earlier conclusion is shown to be incorrect by using a model that is more general in several respects than the models used previously.
