The findings are obtained through cross-country panel data and two-way fixed effects regressions, and reveal a nuanced connection: under small (large) government scales, increased tax complexity is associated with greater (smaller) economic sophistication. This suggests that tax complexity’s positive and negative aspects vary depending on the government conditions provided to the economy.5 p.application/pdfeng(c) Taylor & Francis, 2025Anàlisi de regressióAnàlisi de dades de panelPolítica governamentalImpostosRegression analysisPanel analysisGovernment policyTaxationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7489752025-08-28info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
