The Optimal Taxation of Labour Income
A dual framework involving two posttax earning parameters, the net wage rate and notional lump-sum income, leads to a number of novel ideas, including an explicit solution for the variational model originated by Mirrlees; the finding that a basic property of efficient taxation is to place as much as possible of the tax in the form of lump-sum commitment; and indication on theoretically more efficient alternatives to income taxation.
