undefinedInternational Tax Policy Forum and
Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center

Who Pays the Corporate Tax in an Open Economy?
With a Keynote Address by former U.S. Treasury Secretary, Lawrence Summers

Date:Tuesday, December 18, 2007, 8:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m.
Location:Urban Institute, 2100 M St., NW, Washington, DC (entrance on 21st Street) 5th Floor, Katharine Graham Conference Center

This conference considers the distribution of corporate tax burdens in open economies. It is well understood that high corporate taxes may be borne by capital owners in the form of lower after-tax profits, by consumers in the form of higher prices, or by workers in the form of reduced wages. Expanding international trade and investment may change the effects of corporate taxation, with implications for the distribution of the U.S. corporate tax burden.
