Taxation and Redistribution of Residual Income Inequality
[ Journa © 2013 market. We study this problem in the context of a directed search model of the labor market populated by homogeneous workers and heterogeneous firms. The optimal redistribution can be attained using a positive unemployment benefit and an increasing and regressive labor income tax. The positive unemployment benefit serves the purpose of lowering the search risk faced by workers. ...
متن کاملEconomic development, income inequality and preferences for redistribution
Abstract: Adopting a cross-regional and global perspective, this article critically evaluates one of the core assertions of political economy approaches to welfare—that support for redistribution is inversely related to income. We hypothesize that economic self-interest gives way to more uniform support for redistribution in the interest of ensuring that basic or relative needs are met in less ...
متن کاملLinear Inequality Measures and the Redistribution of Income
A class of inequality measures that is a natural companion to the popular Lorenz curve is the class of measures that are linear in incomes. These measures, which include the Gini and S-Gini coefficients, can be interpreted as ethical means of relative deprivation feelings. Their change through the tax and benefit system can be decomposed simply as a sum of progressivity indices for individual t...
متن کاملThe Redistribution of Trade Gains When Income Inequality Matters
How does a redistribution of trade gains affect welfare when income inequality matters? To answer this question, we extend the [1] model to unionized labor markets and heterogeneous workers. As redistribution schemes, we consider unemployment benefits that are financed either by a wage tax, a payroll tax or a profit tax. Assuming that welfare declines in income inequality, we find that welfare ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Income Mobility and Tax Persistence on Income Redistribution and Inequality∗
We explore the effect of income mobility and the persistence of redistributive tax policy on the level of redistribution in democratic societies in an infinite-horizon model. Mobility and stickiness of tax policy are both negatively related to the equilibrium tax rate. However, neither is sufficient by itself. Tax persistence leads to higher levels of post-tax inequality, for any amount of mobi...
