Summary of key information presented about the program or policy:

The academic document by Barrios et al. (2020) seeks to analyze the effects of any

country with an example of the united states migrating from flat-rate taxation to progressive

taxation policies. The author analyzes the countries using flat-rate taxation and later switches to

determine if the policy effectively meets tax objectives. Additionally, the paper examines the

models used in assessing the fitness of a progressive taxation policy, based on the roles of fiscal

policies in the economic considerations. Moreover, countries such as the UK, which seems to use

progressive taxation, are analyzed to determine the challenge of the policy in its implementation

and the reasons that can lead to its failure. The paper acknowledges that the progressive taxation

policy is effective in meeting its objectives if effectively implemented.

Based on this source, does the policy seem significant? Explain and provide specific

details/examples.

instance, the source indicates that the UK has failed to effectively benefit from the policy since it

imposed an irrational minimum threshold for progressive taxation. Expressly, the country set a

very low minimum threshold, making people evade tax, making tariffs less effective. Moreover,

the government has adopted the policy on a political basis with less economic intentions, making

it difficult for follow-up. However, the author's models can effectively lead to the policy's

success if followed to the letter. According to the author, the policy might be useful in the United
