The Clarke Tax Algorithm
The idea behind the Clarke Tax Algorithm is that a tax will be assessed to each individual. The amount of this tax depends on how the individual’s utilities affect the rest of the group. Since people do not want to pay taxes, a big assessment will decrease an individual’s overall utility. To get a better understanding of this statement, it is helpful to restrict the problem a bit. Formally, the...
متن کاملEquilibrium Unemployment
A search-theoretic model of equilibrium unemployment is constructed and shown to be consistent with the key regularities of the labor market and business cycle. The two distinguishing features of the model are: (i) the decision to accept or reject jobs is modeled explicitly, and (ii) markets are incomplete. The model is well suited to address a number of interesting policy questions. Two such a...
متن کاملLabor Tax Reform and Equilibrium Unemployment: A Search and Matching Approach
The paper studies simple strategies of labor tax reform in a search and matching model of the labor market featuring endogenous labor supply. Changing the composition of the tax wedge—that is, reducing a payroll tax and increasing a progressive wage tax such that the marginal tax wedge remains unaffected—increases employment, reduces the equilibrium unemployment rate, and increases public reven...
متن کاملSkill Heterogeneity and Equilibrium Unemployment
Opportunities for skilled and unskilled workers in the UK diverged over the last quarter of the twentieth century. We develop an empirical framework consistent with these trends that highlights the importance of skill heterogeneity in both wage setting and labour demand in explaining aggregate labour market outcomes. The framework enables us to quantify the macroeconomic effects of shocks that ...
متن کاملThe EITC, Tax Refunds, and Unemployment Spells
The Earned Income Tax Credit generates large average tax refunds for low-income parents, and these refunds are distributed in a narrow time frame. I rely on this plausibly exogenous source of variation in liquidity to investigate the effect of cash-on-hand on unemployment duration. Among EITC-eligible women, unemployment spells beginning just after tax refund receipt last longer than unemployme...
