摘要

这项研究研究了增值税（VAT）改革的影响，该改革将墨西哥靠近国际边界的地方的税率从11%提高到16%。利用差中之差，我们发现增值税上调使价格增加了完全传递反事实的三分之一。此外，我们发现工人吸收了部分增值税上涨，因为改革对工人的补偿产生了负面影响。非正式性、跨境竞争、工人流动性和收入水平推动了我们发现的影响。

Who pays for a VAT hike at an international border?

This research studies the effects of a value added tax (VAT) reform that raised the rate from 11 to 16 per cent at localities close to international borders in Mexico. Using difference-in-differences, we find that the VAT hike increased prices by one-third the size of the full-passthrough counterfactual. Moreover, we find that workers absorbed part of the VAT hike, as the reform had a negative effect on workers’ compensation. Informality, competition across the border, worker mobility and earnings level drive the effects we find.
