Optimal Emissions Reduction Investment under Green House Gas Emissions Regulations
In emissions intensive industries such as iron and cement, manufacturers can invest to reduce carbon emissions. Under carbon regulations, their investment decisions will change the cost structure of production. We study the joint production and investment decisions under command-andcontrol and market-based regulations for a manufacturer. Market-based regulations include carbon tax and cap-and-t...
متن کاملFlexible Retirement and Optimal Taxation
This paper studies optimal income taxes and retirement benefits in a life-cycle model with an intensive margin of labor supply and an endogenous retirement age. The government insures and redistributes resources across individuals who privately observe persistent shocks to their productivity. In this environment, the optimal labor tax is hump-shaped in age, unlike in existing models with no end...
متن کاملTax Morale and Optimal Taxation
We study experimentally how taxpayers choose between two tax regimes to fund a public good. The first-best tax regime imposes a general, distortion-free income tax. However, this tax cannot be enforced. The second-best alternative supplements the income tax by a specific commodity tax. This tax cannot be evaded but distorts optimal consumption choices, instead. The result is that a large majori...
متن کاملOptimal Indirect and Capital Taxation
We consider an environment in which agents’ skills are private information and follow arbitrary stochastic processes. We prove that it is typically Pareto optimal for an individual’s marginal benefit of investing in capital to exceed his marginal cost of doing so. This wedge is consistent with a positive tax on capital income. We also prove that it is Pareto optimal for the marginal rate of sub...
متن کاملFinancial repression and optimal taxation
Financial repression entails an implicit taxation on savings. When effective income-tax rates are very uneven, as common in developing countries, raising some government revenue through mild financial repression can be more efficient than collecting income tax only. 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
