Optimal Taxation of Normal and Excess Returns to Risky Assets

چکیده
We study the optimal taxation of risk-free and excess capital income with heterogeneous rates return, alongside an nonlinear earnings tax. Households can hold three assets: one risk-free, risky but diversifiable, a private investment idiosyncratic risk whose expected return differs among households. Contrary to expectations, tax on returns assets is ineffective for redistribution, because its effects are annulled by Domar-Musgrave effect. It assumes only insurance role, positive. The does fulfill redistributive insofar reveal information about investors' types beyond what revealed base. takes standard Mirrleesian form amended take account stochasticity revenue.

Certainty and Uncertainty in the Taxation of Risky Returns
I extend the general equilibrium techniques that have been applied to proportionate taxes to analyze the economic impact of non-proportionate taxes, including those with such commonly observed features as loss disallowances and progressivity. I analogize proportionate taxes to financial forwards and more general taxes to structured financial options. Option pricing theory and methods carry over...
متن کاملOptimal Investment Strategy for Risky Assets
We design an optimal strategy for investment in a portfolio of assets subject to a multiplicative Brownian motion. The strategy provides the maximal typical long-term growth rate of investor’s capital. We determine the optimal fraction of capital that an investor should keep in risky assets as well as weights of different assets in an optimal portfolio. In this approach both average return and ...
متن کاملThe Taxation of Savings in Overlapping Generations Economies with Unbacked Risky Assets
This paper establishes, in the context of the Diamond (1965) overlapping generations economy with production, that the risk that savings in unbacked assets (like fiat money or public debt) become worthless implies that, not only the first-best steady state, but even the best steady state attainable with those saving instruments fails to be a competitive equilibrium outcome under laissez-faire. ...
متن کاملThe Taxation of Capital Returns in Overlapping Generations Economies without Financial Assets
I show in this paper that in an overlapping generations economy with production à la Diamond (1970) in which the agents can only save in terms of capital (i.e. with no asset bubbles à la Tirole (1985) or public debt as in Diamond (1965)), there is a period-by-period balanced fiscal policy supporting a steady state allocation that Pareto-improves upon the laissez-faire competitive equilibrium st...
متن کاملExcess Burden of Taxation
The excess burden of taxation is the efficiency cost, or deadweight loss, associated with taxation. Excess burden is commonly measured by the area of the associated Harberger triangle, though accurate measurement requires the use of compensated demand and supply schedules. The generation of empirical excess burden studies that followed Arnold Harberger’s pioneering work in the 1960s measured th...
