Endogenous growth theory suggests that distortionary taxation affects the investment decision, and provided privateinvestment exerts a positive impact on growth, distortionary taxation in turn affects growth. In order to check for thistransmission channel of physical capital accumulation, we run distributed lag regressions with private investment as thedependent variable on different revenue categories, also controlling for aggregate government outlays.

(12) since one cannot presume ex ante that theyhave a direct impact on private investment.The investment model includes fixed time and country effects in additionto the set of fiscal variables.
