On calculating marginal tax rates from stock-market prices / by Jean-Marie Gagnon, Jean-Marc Suret, and Denis Morissette. : EC22-3/1987-321E-PDF

"Models designed to infer marginal personal tax rates from price changes on ex-dividend days have been popular in the United States. We examine two of them, one by Elton and Gruber (1970) and the other one by Auerbach (198l), apply them to Canadian data, and examine the disaggregated results they yield. Performance is judged according to three criteria: plausibility of estimated tax rates, stability of tax clientele over time, and differences in rates attributed to stockholders in different tax brackets. Both models fail all three tests. We explain why they will probably never yield robust estimates, especially under tax laws such as the Canadian ones"--Summary.
