The Distributional Impact of Public Goods Provision : A Veil of Ignorance Approach

This paper considers the redistribution implied by different tax-benefit systems by using the 'veil of ignorance' approach. Redistribution from rich to poor is interpreted as an insurance from a (hypothetical) ex ante situation in which individuals lack any knowledge about their future income situation. Taking redistribution and insurance as synonymous, the paper derives cases of redistributionally neutral systems of taxation and public good provision
