Sachs, Dominik - 2016
We study the incidence and the optimal design of nonlinear income taxes in a Mirrleesian economy with a continuum of endogenous wages. We characterize analytically the incidence of any tax reform by showing that one can mathematically formalize this problem as an integral equation. For a CES...

On the Optimal Provision of Social Insurance : Progressive Taxation versus Education Subsidies in General Equilibrium
Krueger, Dirk - 2015
In this paper we compute the optimal tax and education policy transition in an economy where progressive taxes provide social insurance against idiosyncratic wage risk, but distort the education decision of households. Optimally chosen tertiary education subsidies mitigate these distortions. We...

The Cost of Curbing Externalities with Market Power : Alcohol Regulations and Tax Alternatives
Conlon, Christopher; Rao, Nirupama L. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
Products with negative externalities are often subject to regulations that limit competition. The single-product case may suggest that it is irrelevant for aggregate welfare whether output is restricted via corrective taxes or limiting competition. However, when products are differentiated...

The Lerner Symmetry Theorem : Generalizations and Qualifications
Costinot, Arnaud - 2017
The Lerner Symmetry Theorem (Lerner, 1936) establishes the equivalence between import tariffs and export taxes in a simple neoclassical economy with two countries, two final goods, and no trade costs. In this paper we provide a number of generalizations and qualifications of this well-known...
