Fairchild was an honorary member of the National Tax Association, an educational association of taxation experts. [cite web |url=http://www.ntanet.org/nta_honarary_members.htm |title=NATIONAL TAX ASSOCIATION'S HONORARY MEMBERS |accessdate=2007-04-14 |year=2007 |publisher=National Tax Association] His primary field of study was federal taxation in the United States. In a 1920 journal article published in the "American Economic Review", [cite journal |last=Fairchild |first=Fred Rogers |authorlink=Fred Rogers Fairchild |year=1920 |month=December |title=Suggestions for Revision of the Federal Taxation of Income and Profits |journal=American Economic Review |volume=10 |issue=4 |pages=785–799 |url=http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0002-8282(192012)10%3A4%3C785%3ASFROTF%3E2.0.CO%3B2-F |accessdate=2007-04-14] Fairchild proposed a restructuring of the post-war U.S. federal taxation system in light of calls for the repeal of the excess profits tax enacted during wartime. He recommended, in order to ensure a "reasonable revenue to the government and justice to the various classes of taxpayers", [Fairchild 1920, p. 798.] that corporations be exempt from income taxes and instead that shareholder dividends become subject to the income tax.

Influence

In an article about the proper level for the capital gains tax, [ [http://www.ncpa.org/pub/st/st245/s245.pdf Proper level for the capital gains tax] ] Bruce Bartlett, a senior fellow at NCPA, cites Fairchild, :Fred Rogers Fairchild of Yale probably spoke for most economists of the day when he said, “the weight of economic authority supports the theory that mere growth in value of capital is not income.” (citing Fred Rogers Fairchild, “Federal Taxation of Income and Profits,” American Economic Review, Vol. 11, No. 1, March 1921, p. 150.)

In a publication for the Foundation for Economic Education, [ [http://www.fee.org/publications/the-freeman/article.asp?aid=3744 Foundation for Economic Education] ] Hans F. Sennholz writes,:In the academic world, a few eminent scholars such as B. M. Anderson, H. J. Davenport, "F. R. Fairchild", F. H. Knight, and W. A. Paton scorned the New Deal which was holding sway in education and communication."
