Progressive Taxation, Public Capital and Endogenous Growth
This paper presents and analyzes an endogenous growth model with public capital and progressive taxation. Two versions are considered: The first versions assumes that the budget of the government is balanced at each point of time. The second allows for public debt but asserts that the ratio of the primary surplus to gross domestic income is a positive linear function of the debt income ratio wh...
متن کاملConstrained Efficient Taxation of Capital
I show in this paper that in an overlapping generations economy with production à la Diamond (1965) in which the agents can only save in terms of physical capital, the laissez-faire competitive equilibrium steady state is not only typically inefficient among all feasible steady states the economy may start from, but it is even ”constrained inefficient”, that is to say, dominated by other steady...
متن کاملOptimal Capital Income Taxation with Endogenous Human Capital Formation∗
This paper analyzes optimal linear taxes on capital and labor incomes in a life-cycle model of human capital investment, financial savings, and labor supply with heterogenous individuals. A dual income tax with positive marginal tax rates on not only labor but also capital income is optimal. The key function of the tax on capital income is to reduce labor tax distortions on human capital accumu...
متن کاملHuman Capital Accumulation, Environmental Quality, Taxation and Endogenous Growth
We consider a Rebelo (1991) type model of endogenous growth in which the environmental quality positively affects the rate of human capital accumulation and the environmental quality itself is positively affected by human capital accumulation and is negatively affected by physical capital accumulation. We analyse the effects of taxation on the steady state equilibrium growth rate in this model....
متن کاملOptimal Wage Taxation When Human Capital and Employment Are Endogenous
This paper studies how optimal wage tax conclusions from the classic two-period life cycle model of human capital accumulation are affected by endogenizing the number of taxpaying workers. In the absence of a corrective policy, young individuals underinvest in human capital from a social perspective because tax premiums for transfers to nonworkers are not actuarially adjusted downward for human...
