Bank of Canada Review en contra de la TTF
The financial transaction tax (FTT) is a policy idea with a long history that,
in the wake of the global financial crisis, has attracted renewed interest in
some quarters.
Historically, there have been two motivating factors for the introduction
of the tax. The first is its potential to raise substantial revenues, and the
second is its perceived potential to discourage speculative trading and
reduce volatility.
There is, however, little empirical evidence that an FTT reduces volatility.
Numerous studies suggest that an FTT harms market quality and is
associated with an increase in volatility and a decrease in both market
liquidity and trading volume. When the cost of acquiring a security rises,
its required rate of return and cost of capital also increase. As a result, an
FTT may reduce the flow of profitable projects, decreasing levels of real
production, expansion, capital investment and even employment.
There are many unanswered questions regarding the design of FTTs and
their ability to raise significant revenues.
