متن کاملOptimal ( Capital ) - Taxation and ( Female ) - Labor Force Participation – The Importance of Labor Market Flows ∗

In our model labor taxes are intertemporally distortive, making the trade-off between capital and labor taxes interesting. Quantitatively, (optimal) taxation results hinge upon an estimate of the intratemporal elasticity ...
