Abstract
We characterize the role of capital and labor mobility in the shifting of capital taxes in a 2x2 general-equilibrium model with partially-mobile factors. This is done by means of an intuitive decomposition of the incidence of a selective capital tax into a "specificity effect" and a "mobility effect".
