uncertainty in the financial market will be driven by underlying brownian motions, while the assets are assumed to be general stochastic processes adapted to the filtration of the brownian motions. the goal of this study is to calculate the accumulated wealth in order to optimize the expected terminal value using a suitable utility function. this thesis introduced the lim-wong’s benchmark fun...
15 صفحه اولA New Approach to Optimal Commodity Taxation
This paper makes a fresh attempt at characterizing optimal commodity taxes. Under the usual assumptions, an extremely simple expression of second-best commodity taxes is derived, showing tax rates as functions of observable variables only, rather than as functions of unobservable variables such as compensated cross elasticities. The main formula is independent of special preferences, and indepe...

To address this question, I introduce labor market signaling into a Mirrlees optimal income tax environment. The signaling incentives create a wedge between the private and social returns to labor, with the private returns exceeding the social returns. Be...

I study optimal income taxation and an optimal welfare program within a unified framework, taking welfare stigma into account. In the framework, I assume that the government has two policy instruments: general income taxation and a welfare program. I assume that individuals are h...
