Taxation When Borrowing Is Costly
The implications for taxation theory of a life-cycle model of consumption incorporating financial transactions costs are derived. The equity case for progressive taxation is shown to correspond, in a life-cycle setting, to an efficiency case. Individuals prefer a progressive tax system to a proportional one because the tax burden is lower when they are young and face high transactions costs of ...
متن کاملCostly External Finance and Investment Efficiency in a Market Equilibrium Model
The corporate finance literature suggests that a financially constrained firm invests less than an identical unconstrained firm.

When firms compete for investment funds, an increase in financial frictions can lead individual firms to increase their investment levels. A greater than the fricti...

A financial accelerat...

A systemic deleveraging process propagated through t...
