This paper studies the e ects of agent heterogeneity on optimal capital income tax rates. In a two period model with arbitrarily many heterogeneous agents, we explicitly derive the welfare e ects of taxation depending on the distribution of the agents' characteristics. In particular, we show that the sign of the optimal capital income tax rate depends not on the extent of inequality in goods en...

This allows a straightforward comparison with the standard model and also facilitates calculations of unemployment and uncertainty accounted ra...
