Abstract

Presentamos evidencia basada en microdatos para la Unión Europea, Estados Unidos y Japón que indica que los contribuyentes de mayor edad soportan tipos impositivos efectivos más reducidos que los más jóvenes (por caída de renta y tipo de cesta de consumo). No obstante, los cambios impositivos de las últimas décadas han dado como resultado un aumento de la contribución relativa de este grupo a las finanzas públicas.
