摘要：

We study the effect of two tax innovations - value added taxes (VAT) and autonomous revenue authorities (ARA) - on tax revenues in sub-Saharan Africa. The dataset consists of 47 countries over 1980-2010. We find that VATs have no effect on total tax revenues, neither in the short- nor in the long-run. ARAs lead to higher tax revenues in the short- and medium-run, but the effect dissipates over time. The main conclusion is that tax innovations are not a panacea to overcome the revenue shortages in African countries, but they are helpful in the short- and medium-run.
