Abstract

In recent years, the dynamics of fiscal policy have necessitated a re-evaluation of the Laffer Curve's elasticity, particularly amidst post-globalization economic architectures. This study employs a hybrid econometric model to dissect fiscal elasticity, revealing nuanced insights into taxation's impact on economic productivity. Our findings challenge the conventional fixed assumptions, offering a recalibrated model that enhances policy-making efficacy in complex economies.
