On the Long-Run Distribution of Capital in the Ramsey Model
We study issues related to the long-run distribution of wealth in two variants of Ramsey’s model of optimal capital accumulation. First we show that, in the case where a government levies a progressive income tax, there exist infinitely many stationary equilibria in which all households own positive capital stocks. Moreover, it is demonstrated that non-stationary equilibria can exhibit complica...
متن کاملOn the Role of Progressive Taxation in a Ramsey Model with Heterogeneous Households
The aim of this paper is to study the role of progressive tax rules on the allocations of steady state and the stability properties in a Ramsey economy with heterogeneous households and borrowing constraints. Since labor supply is elastic, considering di erent tax rates on capital and labor incomes is relevant. The steady state analysis allows us to highlight the existence of di erent types of ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Tax Reform in a Dynamic General Equilibrium Framework - Ramsey vs. Overlapping Generation Model
Based on a thorough comparison of the basic assumptions and economic underpinning of the Ramsey and over lapping generation (OLG) model, this study builds both static and dynamic computable general equilibrium tax policy models to analyze the effect of tax reform on Taiwan’s economy. The new tax structure considers mainly a replacement of some parts of labor and capital income taxes by consumpt...
متن کاملInternational Tax Leadership Among Asymmetric Countries
Multinational companies can shift profit and income between branches in order to reduce the overall tax liabilities of the company. The result is a tax competition between countries. In this paper we consider the sequential choice of tax rates to illustrate the potential effects of tax leadership. We use a profit shifting model with multinational firms that operate in two countries, large and s...
متن کاملHealth, Taxes, and Growth
This paper studies capital accumulation and consumption in the traditional Ramsey model under an exogenous growth framework. The model has three important features: (1) treating health as a simple function of consumption, which enable the study of health and growth in an aggregate macroeconomic model; (2) the existence of multiple equilibria of capital stock, health, and consumption, which is m...
