Impacto de una reforma fiscal sobre el bienestar económico en un ambiente de incertidumbre

This research is aimed at examining the impact of tax reform on economic welfare in an environment of uncertainty in a small open economy with a regime of flexible exchange rate. It is assumed that the economy is populated by identical rational risk-averse individuals. Unlike the typical assumption of infinitely-lived agents, it is assumed in this paper that with some (positive) probability agents are living in a given finite time. It also assumed that individuals are subject to tax rates on wealth, income and consumption. The distinctive feature of the proposed model is that macroeconomic fundamentals have a random dynamics that is modeled with diffusion processes or diffusion processes combined with Poisson jump processes.
