dc.description.abstractThis study uses labor productivity in terms of real GDP as a basis for comparing a nation's competitiveness. We evaluate how corporate income tax, dividend tax, and the tax on the highest income bracket affect productivity while controlling for several environmental factors. A set of 24 OECD member nations is observed from 1996-2006. It is found that statutory corporate income tax rates significantly impact labor productivity in terms of real GDP.
