Optimal Labor Income Taxation∗
This handbook chapter reviews recent developments in the theory of optimal labor income taxation. We emphasize connections between theory and empirical work that were initially lacking from optimal income tax theory. First, we provide historical and international background on labor income taxation and means-tested transfers. Second, we present the simple model of optimal linear taxation. Third...
متن کاملOptimal Capital Income Taxation∗
In an economy with identical infinitely-lived households that obtain utility from leisure as well as consumption, Chamley (1986) and Judd (1985) have shown that the optimal tax system to pay for an exogenous stream of government purchases involves a zero tax rate on capital in the long run, with tax revenue collected by a distortionary tax on labor income. Extending the results of Hall and Jorg...
متن کاملOptimal Capital Income Taxation with Housing⁄
I quantitatively study the optimal capital income taxation in the general equilibrium overlapping generations model with uninsurable idiosyncratic income shocks and with housing and flnancial assets. Following key characteristics of housing are explicitly modeled: (i) housing is held for the dual purpose of consumption and savings, (ii) housing can be either owned or rented, (iii) if owned, hou...
متن کاملOptimal ( Capital ) - Taxation and ( Female ) - Labor Force Participation – The Importance of Labor Market Flows ∗
This paper asks how good actual US-fiscal policy was on average and over the cycle in the last 40 years compared to a Ramsey-optimal policy of a frictional labor market model. 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 ...
متن کاملOptimal Capital Taxation with Idiosyncratic Investment Risk
We examine the optimal taxation of capital in a general-equilibrium heterogeneousagent economy with uninsurable idiosyncratic investment or capital-income risk. Our framework combines elements from the Ramsey and the Mirrlees traditions, as we consider a linear tax but also introduce lump-sum transfers. The tractability of our model allows for an analytic characterization of the long run, as we...
