The study re-considers the role of capital income taxation for economic growth. Based on a sound theoretical account of the various components of capital income taxation and their effects on savings and growth, the study identifies various potential distortions associated with the German tax system before and after the major tax reforms of 2001 and 2008. A quantitative analysis using a dynamic computable general equilibrium model considers the growth effects of these reforms and explores the growth potential of a fundamental tax reform that removes key distortions.

German description: Auf der Grundlage einer systematischen Analyse der Besteuerung von Kapitaleinkommen wird die Entwicklung zentraler Parameter des deutschen Steuersystems unter Berucksichtigung der beiden grossen Unternehmenssteuerreformen 2001 und 2008 nachvollzogen. Die Effekte der daraus resultierenden steuerlichen Verzerrungen werden anhand von Alternativszenarien quantifiziert, welche die Steuerreformen sowie die hypothetische Einfuhrung eines optimalen Steuersystems abbilden. Die Simulationsergebnisse verdeutlichen das erhebliche Potenzial fur wachstumsfordernde Steuerreformen in Deutschland.
