We consider the optimal factor income taxation in a standard R&D model with technical change represented by an increase in the variety of intermediate goods. Redistributing the tax burden from labor to capital will in most cases increase the employment rate in equilibrium. This has opposite...

This paper analyses the welfare effects of flat tax in a context of endogenous growth generated by learning-by-doing and knowledge spillovers. We present a model where a set of revenue neutral fiscal policies, each characterised by different degrees of investment deductibility and different...

In this paper I readdress the result that capital income taxes are bad instruments for pure redistribution and should be zero in the long run. In a neoclassical growth model a capital income cum investment subsidy tax, which is not distorting accumulation, is considered to investigate if net...

In this paper it is analyzed whether capital depreciation allowances are good instruments for redistribution in the long run. In a simple two-class economy it is shown that in the short run and absent optimizing behaviour accelerated depreciation is good for growth and may stabilize investment...

Tax changes are often announced before their implementation and are not permanent, but rather only temporary. Accordingly, R&D firms will optimally adjust their investment decisions to fit tax schedule changes. This study analyzes how changes in various tax rates relevant to corporate activities...
