| Shrnutí: | This paper explores how the tax treatment of investment and savings affects international capital flows as well as national and global welfare. Focusing on portfolio investment, it evaluates the international effects of capital income taxes in the United States and Japan.

The paper concludes that the internationalization of financial markets calls for a careful study of the international implications of domestic tax policies. |
