Given its significance in practice, piecewise linear taxation has received relatively little attention in the literature. This paper offers a simple and transparent analysis of its main characteristics. We fully characterize optimal tax parameters for the cases in which budget sets are convex...

Intra-household wealth and welfare inequality in the US : estimations from a collective model of labor supply

Molina, José Alberto; Gimenez-Nadal, José Ignacio; … - 2018

This paper analyzes the intra-household distribution of wealth and welfare in the United States, within a theoretical framework based on a collective model of labor supply, where household decisions are Pareto efficient, and spouses negotiate a sharing rule for non-labor income. Using the...

Commitment and the dynamics of household labor supply

Theloudis, Alexandros; Velilla, Jorge; Chiappori, … - 2022

The extent to which individuals commit to their partner for life has important implications. This paper develops a lifecycle collective model of the household, through which it characterizes behavior in three prominent alternative types of commitment: full, limited, and no commitment. We propose...
