Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 2005.

This dissertation explores several public finance questions in taxation, fiscal federalism and social insurance. I analyze how families shift their labor supply and income over time in response to tax changes they can anticipate in advance. I propose and implement a new methodology for estimating the intertemporal elasticity of labor supply and elasticity of taxable income that exploits variation in tax rates arising from changes in the dependent status of a family's children. I find substantial behavioral responses to these tax rate changes for a variety of treatment groups. I then propose a new model to explain the flypaper effect, the anomalous finding that local governments violate fungibility in spending in systematic ways. I argue that this effect can be explained by dynamic interactions between local governments and interest groups responsible for raising funds. I demonstrate that states dramatically increased spending on tobacco prevention and control programs in response to windfalls received under a settlement with the tobacco industry in ways that cannot be explained by existing flypaper models. I present strong suggestive evidence in favor of the interest group model. Finally, I examine provider responses to changes in reimbursement guidelines in the Medicare system. I focus in particular on analyzing shifting of hip fracture and stroke patients across acute and post-acute care settings. Providers do appear to shift these patients across treatment settings in response to payment incentives.
