|a This paper reviews the literature on the revenue implications of a lower capital gains tax rate in the United States.

No study claims that tax revenues would increase very much on a permanent basis. The paper concludes that other aspects of a lower capital gains tax rate deserves more attention, in particular its impact on resource allocation and tax arbitrage.
