This paper examines the question of whether indirect tax rates should be uniform using four different modelling strategies. First, marginal tax reform is examined. Second, the welfare effects of a partial shift from the current indirect tax system in Australia towards a goods and services tax...

Tax compliance is modelled as a Bayesian Nash equilibrium in a costly state verification game with imperfect auditing. Neither the tax payer nor the auditor can measure the tax payer's true liability precisely: they observe independent noisy signals.

The purpose of this paper is to extend the analysis of built-in flexibility to various forms of consumption taxation … income taxation, concentrating on the multi-step case. This is needed in view of the fact that consumption is from income net … of income taxation. Section 3 extends the analysis to include ad valorem and unit consumption taxes. Section 4 examines …

This paper decomposes the redistributive effect on annual and lifetime inequality of a range of taxes and transfers in Australia, using a dynamic cohort lifetime simulation model. The model allows for family formation, births of children, labour force participation of male and females, along...

The paper formalizes a conflict in the use of credit. As compared to using costless fiat, the consumer's use of credit wastes resources by avoiding the inflation tax through a costly means of exchange. This inefficiency gives lattitude for a planner to increase welfare by restricting exchange...

Tax models come in all shapes and sizes, depending on the nature of the policy issues examined. The policy questions may relate to specific problems, concerning perhaps the revenue implications of a particular tax, or they may involve an extensive analysis of the cost and redistributice effects...
