Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact that tax
reform had on business investment during the Reagan era. It discusses
the two main tax reforms of that era, the Economic Recovery Tax Act of
1981 and the Tax Reform Act of 1986. This era of tax reform was
revolutionary for the fact that it was so different from the past. It
contained legislation that had not been seen before. As a result, the
impact of these reforms was very difficult to predict. This paper
examines the microeconomic implications of tax reform on business
investment and how the predicted and actual outcomes turned out to
be very different from each other.
