Leigh, Andrew - Research School of Economics, College of Business and … - 2005

How are hourly wages affected by the Earned Income Tax Credit? Two strategies are utilized to determine the relationship between the credit and hourly wages. First, I use variation in state EITC supplements, which magnify the effect of the federal EITC. I find that a 10 percent increase in the...

Apps, P. - Research School of Economics, College of Business and … - 1997

The available empirical evidence indicates that the distribution of private income in Australia is polarising. While there are a number of factors underlying this trend, it is clear that the dramatic swing to "economic rationalist" policies since the mid 1980s has been a major cause of the...

Optimal Labour Taxation and Search

Boone, Jan; Bovenberg, A Lans - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001

This Paper explores the optimal role of the tax system in alleviating labour-market imperfections and raising revenue. For this purpose, the standard search model of the labour market is extended by introducing scarce entrepreneurial talent and arbitrage between the supply and demand. We study...

Optimal Income Taxation: Mirrlees Meets Ramsey

Heathcote, Jonathan; Tsujiyama, Hitoshi - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015

What structure of income taxation maximizes the social benefits of redistribution while minimizing the social harm associated with distorting the allocation of labor input? Many authors have advocated scrapping the current tax system, which redistributes primarily via marginal tax rates that...

Welfare Transfers and Intra-Household Trickle Down: A Model with Evidence from the US Food Stamp Program

Breunig, Robert; Dasgupta, Indraneel - Research School of Economics, College of Business and … - 2003

We examine the case for maintaining welfare and income redistribution programs even when their adverse general equilibrium effects reduce total earnings of poor households. Using a Cournot model of intra-household decision-making, we show that even if welfare cutbacks generate large increases in...

Redistributive Politics with Distortionary Taxation

Crutzen, Benoît SY; Sahuguet, Nicolas - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2006

We extend the discussion of redistributive politics across electoral systems to allow for taxation to be distortionary. We allow politicians to choose any tax rate between zero and unity and then redistribute the money collected. We build on the model put forward by Myerson (1993) and Lizzeri...
