As the model highlights the role of fiscal policies to explain hysteresis, we also study the behavior of the directtax rates.
Supplements to income tax became the principal source of local taxation, whereas taxation on property was the most important directtax at a local level.
European experience seems to fit with the case where directtax rates are used to balance the government budget constraint and different equilibria exist.
When government spending is treated as endogenous, directtax rates are constant and, hence, exhibit an acyclical behavior.
It can be shown that both assumptions can be removed and yet the reference wage will decrease with the directtax rate.
Thus, according to this model, those fiscal policies not using the directtax rate to balance the government budget constraint are a superior fiscal policy.
The most significant innovations involved the directtax.

If the problem with excises was the "swarm" of officials necessary to collect them, a directtax could only be worse.
Obviously, the endogenous directtax rate is low and hence the net of taxes interest rate is large in equilibrium.
When this happens, the directtax rate reduces the reference wage growth and, hence, decreases wages. 25.
Finally, let's turn our attention to the path of the directtax rates.
The objective is to provide a system of directtax credits approximating the social value of a specific innovation in exchange for marginal cost pricing.
The behavior of the directtax rate is also examined.
