Optimal 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 کاملOptimal linear taxation under endogenous longevity
This paper studies the optimal linear tax-transfer policy in an economy where agents di¤er in productivity and in genetic background, and where longevity depends on health spending and genes. It is shown that, if agents internalize imperfectly the impact of genes and health spending on longevity, the utilitarian social optimum can be decentralized with type-speci c redistributive lump sum trans...
متن کاملOptimal Taxation When Consumers Have Endogenous Benchmark Levels of Consumption
I examine optimal taxes in an overlapping generations economy in which each consumers utility depends on consumption relative to a weighted average of consumption by others (the benchmark level of consumption) as well as on the level of the consumers own consumption. The socially optimal balanced growth path is characterized by the ModiÞed Golden Rule and by a condition on the intergeneration...
متن کاملOptimal Intertemporal Consumption under Uncertainty
We analyze the optimal consumption program of an infinitely lived consumer who maximizes the discounted sum of utilities subject to a sequence of budget constraints where both the interest rate and his income are stochastic. We show that if the income and interest rate processes are sufficiently stochastic and the long run average rate of interest is greater than or equal to the discount rate, ...
متن کاملOptimal Consumption under Income Uncertainty
A number of authors have examined the problem of the individual’s choice of optimal consumption strategy when faced with income uncertainty, and several important general results have been obtained. [For a partial survey see Hey (1979)]. However, the existence of a significant special case appears to have gone unnoticed. As we demonstrate below, this special case has several interesting propert...
