Mr. Desai, who wrote the study with Harvard's C. Fritz Foley and James Hines Jr. of the University of Michigan, said his own estimates of the effect of such a rate cut was closer to $800 a year. "I'm a believer in corporate tax reform, and I'm a believer in corporate tax cuts, and I believe they would go to workers," he said. "But I don't believe those numbers add up."
