Simulation results indicate a decrease in capital stock and economic growth when post-adjusted estate tax rate falls below 28.22%, which resembles the optimal estate tax rate to keep capital stock unchanged. The results also show that estate tax rate cuts have caused changes in relative prices, resulting in excess burden （EB）. The implication of our simulation results is that Taiwan＇s current estate tax rate cut to 10% will not be able to increase capital stock and promote economic growth.展开更多
