Abstract

[eng] The Fiscal Reforms in Canada and Quebec : a General Equilibrium Analysis for Quebec, . by Pierre Lefebvre, Francine Mayer.. . The governments of Canada and Quebec recently engaged in a sizable reform of their tax scheme, the purpose of which was to make it more equitable and competitive. Our analysis focusses on the consequences of these reforms for Quebec. It is based on the simulation results obtained using a Shoven-Whalley type general equilibrium model of the Quebec economy, developed on a multi-sector and multi-household basis. One of the things this model integrates are the changes in the job behaviour of households likely to be induced by reforms. Its also enables us to measure the impact on macroeconomic aggregates, improvements in welfare and distributive effects related to each one of the reforms on which a simulation is run. [fre] Les réformes fiscales de 1988 au Canada et au Québec : une analyse d'équilibre général des implications pour le Québec, . par Pierre Lefebvre, Francine Mayer.. . Les gouvernements du Canada et du Québec se sont récemment engagés dans une révision substantielle de leur régime fiscal, dans le but de le rendre plus équitable et plus concurrentiel. Notre étude analyse les conséquences de ces réformes pour le Québec. Elle repose sur les résultats de simulation obtenus à l'aide d'un modèle d'équilibre général calculable du type Shoven-Whalley, multisectoriel et multi-ménages de l'économie du Québec. Ce modèle intègre notamment les changements, dans le comportement de travail des ménages, susceptibles d'être induits par les réformes.Il permet de calculer l'impact sur les agrégats macro-économiques, les variations de bien-être et les effets distributifs associés à chacune des réformes simulées. [ger] Die Steuerreformen von 1988 in Kanada und Québec : ein Ansatz allgemeinen Gleichgewichts der Folgen für die Provinz Québec, . von Pierre Lefebvre, Francine Mayer.. . Die Regierangen Kanadas und Québecs haben unlängst eine durchgreifende Reform ihrer Steuersysteme in Angriffgenommen, die ein höheres Mass an Gerechtigkeit und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit bewirken soil. Unser Beitrag analysiert, wie sich diese Reformen in Québec auswirken. Er geht von Simulationsergebnissen aus, die anhand eines multisektoralen, kalkulierbaren allgemeinen Gleichgewichtsmodells vom Typ Shoven- Whalley auf der Basis einer Vielzahl privater Haushalte der Wirtschaft Québecs gewonnen wurden. Dieses Modell integriert insbesondere die Veränderangen im Arbeitsverhalten der privaten Haushalte, die auf die Reformen zurückgefiihrt werden können. Es erlaubt, die Auswirkungen auf die makroökonomischen Aggregate, die Wohlstandsschwankungen und die Umverteilungsfunktionen zu berechnen, die sich aus jeder simulierten Reform ergeben. [spa] Reformas fiscales de 1988 en Canadá y en Quebec: análisis de equilibrio general de las implicaciones para el Quebec, . por Pierre Lefebvre y Francine Meyer.. . El gobierno de Canadá y del Quebec emprendieron recientemente una revisión de considerable importancia de su régimen fiscal con objeto de hacerlo más equitativo y competidor. En el présente estudio se analizan las consecuencias de estas reformas para el Quebec, fundándose en los resultados de simulación obtenidos a partir de un modelo de equilibrio general calculable del tipo Shoven-Whalley, multisectorial y multihogares de la economía del Quebec. Este modelo integra principalmente los cambios que pueden provocar las reformas en el comportamiento de trabajo de los hogares, y permite calcular el impacto sobre los agregados macroeconómicos, las variaciones de bienestar y los efectos distributives relacionados con cada una de las reformas simuladas.
