demand and wages. Compared to their efficient values, gross wages, unemployment and participation are lower. Average tax … rates are increasing. Marginal tax rates are positive, even at the top. Finally, numerical simulations suggest that … redistribution is much more important in our setting than in a comparable Mirrlees (1971) setting …

We estimate the responses of gross labor income with respect to marginal and average net-of-tax rates in France over … the period 2003-2006. We exploit a series of reforms to the income-tax and payroll-tax schedules affecting individuals who … net-of-income-tax rate is around 0.2, while we find no response to the marginal net-of-payroll-tax rate. The elasticity …

We analyze the optimal nonlinear income tax schedule when taxpayers earn multiple incomes and differ along many … unobserved dimensions. We derive the necessary conditions for the government’s optimum using both a tax perturbation and a … method to find the optimal tax schedule. Applied to the optimal taxation of couples, we find that optimal isotax curves are …

We study the optimal tax system when taxpayers earn different kinds of income by supplying different inputs. Imperfect … substitution between inputs allows for general equilibrium effects. We consider any type of cross-base responses to tax changes … such as income-shifting. Formalizing the tax schedule as the sum of many one-dimensional schedules, we express optimal …
