Do Democracies Tax Progressively?
Keywords in English
Democracy
Inequality
Tax progressivity
Tax system
Years in Democracy
Abstract in English
The majority of studies that analyze the effects of democratization on inequality reduction dedicate limited attention to taxation and especially to tax progressivity. Taxes have the capacity of impacting significantly wealth and income distribution, being central mechanisms for inequality reduction. Measuring tax progressivity is a very complex task that has been explored by very few authors in political science. In this study, with tax data for 69 countries, I explore whether long term democratization has a significant and substantial impact on on the progressive structure of tax systems. To do so, I employ three measures of tax progressivity and the years that democracy has endured as the governing regime. I present a comparative time series analysis to show that long periods of democracy have only minor cumulative effects on tax progressivity.

Abstract in Portuguese
A literatura que discute os efeitos da democratização sobre a desigualdade dedica atenção apenas limitada aos impostos e especialmente à progressividade tributária. Impostos possuem a capacidade de impactar de maneira significativa a distribuição de renda e riqueza, sendo mecanismos centrais para a redução da desigualdade. Medir a progressividade tributária é tarefa complexa, pouco explorada por autores na ciência política. Neste estudo, com dados tributários para 69 países, analiso os efeitos da democratização sobre a progressividade tributária no longo prazo. Para este fim, utilizo três medidas de progressividade tributária e anos cumulativos em que regimes democráticos perduraram. Apresento uma análise de séries temporais comparadas para mostrar que longos períodos de democracia impactam de maneira bastante limitada a progressividade dos tributos.
