内容简介:

We study how tax policy affects economic growth through entrepreneurs’ choice of commercialization mode. Introducing both heterogeneous quality jumps and a leapfrog versus sell choice into the quality-ladders model, we show that in equilibrium, entrepreneurs use high-quality innovations to leapfrog incumbent firms and become new market leaders, but sell low quality ones to incumbents. Tax incentives that promote leapfrogging slow the rate of innovation. A numerical analysis concludes that subsidies to product design improve welfare. Corporate taxes, capital gains taxes, and subsidies to market entry all harm welfare.
