Optimal Taxation under Income Uncertainty
Optimal taxation under income uncertainty has been extensively developed in expected utility theory, but it is still open for inseparable utility function between income and effort. As an alternative of decision-making under uncertainty, prospect theory (Kahneman and Tversky (1979), Tversky and Kahneman (1992)) has been obtained empirical support, for example, Kahneman and Tversky (1979), and C...
متن کاملStigma, Optimal Income Taxation, and the Optimal Welfare Program
In this research I integrate the theory of welfare stigma (Moffitt, 1983) and the theory of optimal income taxation.

Extending the results of Hall and Jorg...

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...
