Interest income taxation and household saving behavior in less-developed economies: An empirical investigation

This study is an attempt to fill the existing gap on studies on taxation and household saving behavior in the less developed countries (LDCs). In particular, it seeks to answer two main questions: whether household saving in the LDCs is responsive to interest income tax rate changes and whether the existing interest income tax systems in the LDCs are efficient in the sense of not seriously distorting economic decision-making by households and individuals.
