A simple theory of optimal redistributive taxation with equilibrium unemployment

Hungerbühler, Mathias; Lehmann, Etienne; Parmentier, Alexis - 2010

We propose a canonical model of optimal nonlinear redistributive taxation with matching unemployment. In our model … efficient values, at the optimum gross wages and unemployment are lower. Average tax rates are moreover increasing in wages. The … robustness of these properties is also discussed. -- Optimal income taxation ; unemployment ; matching …
