Relativity, Inequality and Optimal Nonlinear Income Taxation
How does concern for consumption relative to others (”relativity”) affect the progressivity of the optimal income tax structure? In this paper we revisit this literature and present a more detailed analysis of the solution to the non-linear income tax problem with consumption interdependence than is currently available, generalizing some results and developing other results for cases with speci...
متن کاملFamily size and optimal income taxation
This paper studies the role of family size in the design of optimal income taxation. We consider a second best setting where the government observes the number of children and the income of the parents but not their productivity. With a linear tax schedule the marginal tax rate is shown to decrease with the number of children, while the relationship between the demogrant and family size appears...
متن کاملOptimal Dual Income Taxation
There is a strong case for arguing that, in contradiction to some traditional arguments in public economics, capital income should be taxed, though not necessarily under the same rate schedule as labour earnings. The Dual Income Taxation (DIT) system consists of two parallel piecewise linear tax schedules, in which that for capital income has a zero lower bracket rate and an upper bracket rate ...
متن کاملOptimal Capital Income Taxation∗
In an economy with identical infinitely-lived households that obtain utility from leisure as well as consumption, Chamley (1986) and Judd (1985) have shown that the optimal tax system to pay for an exogenous stream of government purchases involves a zero tax rate on capital in the long run, with tax revenue collected by a distortionary tax on labor income. Extending the results of Hall and Jorg...
متن کاملOptimal Labor Income Taxation∗
This handbook chapter reviews recent developments in the theory of optimal labor income taxation. We emphasize connections between theory and empirical work that were initially lacking from optimal income tax theory. First, we provide historical and international background on labor income taxation and means-tested transfers. Second, we present the simple model of optimal linear taxation. Third...
