In thispaper we compare various modelling approaches to address uncertainty and demonstrate … thatignoring uncertainty issues may easily lead to distorted estimates of values of travel time.

We study the optimal taxation of risk-free and excess capital income with heterogeneous rates of return, alongside an … optimal nonlinear earnings tax. Households can hold three assets: one risk-free, one risky but diversifiable, and one a … private investment with idiosyncratic risk whose expected return differs among households. Contrary to expectations, the …
