Optimal Taxation with Capital Accumulation and Wage Bargaining
Optimal Taxation with Capital Accumulation and Wage Bargaining This study examines optimal taxation in a unionized economy in which households save capital. The main findings are as follows. Judd’s (1985) and Chamley’s (1986) classical results of zero taxation on capital income holds. This is true independently of workers’ savings behaviour or the capitalists’ weight in the social welfare funct...
متن کاملA Graduated Minimum Wage with Optimal Taxation
In this paper we prove that a graduated minimum wage rate can provide a Pareto improvement of an optimal allocation with nonlinear taxation. The reason is that a graduated minimum wage rate makes it harder for the more productive workers to mimic the income of the less productive workers. We also show that in a utilitarian social welfare optimum, the graduated minimum wage rate increases the co...
متن کاملOptimal Taxation under Income Uncertainty
Optimal taxation under income uncertainty has been extensively developed in expected utility theory, but it is still open for inseparable utility function between income and effort. As an alternative of decision-making under uncertainty, prospect theory (Kahneman and Tversky (1979), Tversky and Kahneman (1992)) has been obtained empirical support, for example, Kahneman and Tversky (1979), and C...
متن کاملAdvances in Dynamic Optimal Taxation
1 This paper surveys the recent literature concerning the structure of optimal taxes in dynamic economies in which agents are privately informed about skills and effort.
متن کاملCredibility in Optimal Factor Taxation
This paper examines optimal factor taxation when output is produced from labour and capital and some (or all) households save capital. It is shown that there is a reputational equilibrium in which the government has no incentive to change its announced tax policies. In this equilibrium, the Judd-Chamley assertion that the tax on capital income tends to zero in the limit holds. This is independe...
