Any government program that tends to reduce fluctuations in GDP automatically is called an automatic stabilizer. Despite the many changes in the tax system, there has been relatively little change in its role as an automatic stabilizer. While possibly new in the macro literature, this conforms to many results in studies in labour economics.

Using the TAXSIM model for the period 1962-95, we consider the federal tax system's impact as an automatic stabilizer. Automatic stabilizers refer to industries that are not subject to the fluctuations of the economy, and therefore moderate the effects of recessions.
