We present a non-cooperative model of a family's time allocation between work and a home-produced public good, and examine whether the income tax should apply to couples or individuals. While tax-induced labor supply distortions lead to overprovision of the public good, spouses' failure to...

This paper studies the optimal non linear income tax of couples. We build a general unitary model of labor supply and allow multidimensional heterogeneity in a discrete type framework. We concentrate our analysis on the resulting intra-family labor allocation of labor supplies and show that this...

The … main findings are that: (1) Leisure and household income are the most important variables in the utility function of the … male.

One of its aims is to … household's preference ordering over the utility profiles of its members depends on exogenous variables, in particular wage …
