Abstract AR
تحقق ھذه الورقة في آثار التخفیضات المؤقتة للضریبیة الاستھلاكیة باستخدام البیانات على مستوى الشركات.
و كجزء من تدابيرها لمواجھة التقلبات الدوریة المنفذة خلال الأزمة الاقتصادية العالمية الأخيرة، خفضت تركيا مؤقتا الضرائب الاستهلاكية على سلع معمرة محددة.
نقوم بإجراء تحلیل الفرق حیث یمكننا أيضا التحكم في الآثار المختلفة غير الملحوظة بما في ذلك قطاعات محددة الصدمات المحتملة و ذلك باستخدام البیانات الخاصة بتغییر مبیعات الشركات و التي استفادت من ھذا التدبیر و أیضا تلك التي لم تستفید على مدى فترات مختلفة.
نجد ان ھناك آثار إیجابیة وقویة من تخفیضات ضريبة الاستهلاك على تغيير مبيعات الشركة و هو ما يتسق مع التوقعات النظرية.
Abstract EN
The paper investigates the effects of temporary consumption tax cuts using firm-level data.
As part of its countercyclical measures implemented during the recent global economic crisis, Turkey temporarily lowered consumption taxes on selected durables.
Using data on the change of sales of firms that benefited from this measure and of those that did not over different periods, we perform a difference-in-difference analysis where we also control for various unobservable effects including sector-specific shocks to address potential endogeneity.
We find positive and robust effects of consumption tax cuts on the change of firm sales which is consistent with theoretical predictions.
