Sommario/riassunto

This paper sets out a framework for analyzing optimal interventions by a tax administration, one  that parallels and can be closely integrated with established frameworks for thinking about  optimal tax policy. Its key contribution is the development of a summary measure of the impact  of administrative interventions—the “enforcement elasticity of tax revenue”—that is a sufficient  statistic for the behavioral response to such interventions, much as the elasticity of taxable  income serves as a sufficient statistic for the response to tax rates. Amongst the applications are  characterizations of the optimal balance between policy and administrative measures, and of the  optimal compliance gap.
