Redistributive Taxation with Heterogenous Relative Consumption Concerns
This paper examines linear income taxation in a model where preferences over relative consumption are only exhibited by some individuals in the population. This heterogeneity in preferences generates several interesting issues in the optimal tax context. We analyze cases where the tax authority (1) uses a non-welfarist objective (one which places variable weight on the welfare of relatively-con...
متن کاملRelative Consumption Concerns and the Optimal Tax Mix
This articles studies the optimal tax mix (taxes on income and commodities) under asymmetric information in a two-type model, when individuals make relative consumption comparisons. The model includes both positional and nonpositional goods, taking into account the fact that relative concerns matter for some but not for all commodities. We nd that in general the whole tax system is a ected by t...
متن کاملA Psychological Study of Comparative Non-monotonic Preferences Semantics
Representing preferences and reasoning about them are important issues for many real-life applications. Several monotonic and non-monotonic qualitative formalisms have been developed for this purpose. Most of them are based on comparative preferences, for e.g. “I prefer red wine to white wine”. However this simple and natural way to express preferences comes also with many difficulties regardin...
متن کاملA Non-monotonic Goal Specification Language for Planning with Preferences
This paper introduces a default logic based approach to defining goal specification languages that can be non-monotonic and allow for the specification of inconsistencies and priorities among goals. The paper starts by presenting a basic goal specification language for planning with preferences. It then defines goal default theories (resp. with priorities) by embedding goal formulae into defaul...
متن کاملNon-monotonic Reasoning With Various Kinds of Preferences
We are interested in systems which do not prescribe one single kind of preference, but in which varying kinds of preferences can be used simultaneously. In such systems it is essential to know the interaction among the kinds of preferences being used, and we therefore introduce and study a nonmonotonic logic to reason about sixteen strict and non-strict kinds of preferences, including ceteris p...
