Optimal income taxation under monopolistic competition
Tarasov, Alexander; Zubrickas, Robertas - 2021
This paper is concerned with cross-dependencies between endogenous market structure and tax policy. We extend the Mirrlees (1971) model of income taxation with a monopolistic competition framework with general additively separable consumer preferences. We show that price and variety distortions...

Income effects and the welfare consequences of tax in differentiated product oligopoly
Griffith, Rachel; Nesheim, Lars; O'Connell, Martin - 2015
Random utility models are widely used to study consumer choice. The vast majority of applications make strong assumptions about the marginal utility of income, which restricts income effects, demand curvature and pass-through. We show that flexibly modeling income effects can be important,...

Income effects and the welfare consequences of tax in differentiated product oligopoly
Griffith, Rachel; Nesheim, Lars; O'Connell, Martin - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 9 (2018) 1, pp. 305-341
Random utility models are widely used to study consumer choice. The vast majority of applications assume utility is linear in consumption of the outside good, which imposes that total expenditure on the subset of goods of interest does not affect demand for inside goods and restricts demand...

Entry and Competition in Differentiated Products Markets
Schaumans, Catherine; Verboven, Frank - 2011
We propose a methodology for estimating the competition effects from entry when firms sell differentiated products. We … first derive precise conditions under which Bresnahan and Reiss' entry threshold ratios (ETRs) can be used to test for the … presence and to measure the magnitude of competition effects. We then show how to augment the traditional entry model with a …

Rising Markups and Optimal Redistributive Taxation
Gürer, Eren - 2021
This study explores the implications of rising markups for optimal Mirrleesian income and profit taxation. Using a stylized model with two individuals, the main forces shaping welfare-optimal policies are analytically characterized. Although a higher profit tax has redistributive benefits, it...

Optimal Income Taxation with Endogenous Prices
Kushnir, Alexey - 2019
We study an optimal income taxation problem in a Mirrleesian setting with endogenous product prices and positive firm profits. When firm profits are progressively distributed among agents, we show that the public authority uses the price level as a redistributive tool favoring lower prices in...
