Privacy, time consistent optimal labor income taxation and education policy

Konrad, Kai A. - 1999

Incomplete information is a commitment device for time consistency problems. In the context of time consistent labor income taxation privacy can lead to a Pareto superior outcome and increases the effectiveness of public education as a second best policy.

Taxation and Education Investment in the Tertiary Sector

Andersson, Fredrik; Konrad, Kai A. - 2011

In this paper we briefly report some key data on educational expenditure and output in OECD countries and then turn to the motivations for public education. Public education can be important for equal opportunities and has a number of redistributional aspects within and between generations. We...

This paper examines how income inequality can affect the polarization of heterogeneous party platforms on climate … distributional implications) and an income tax is combined with a model of a carbonintensive economy. For a higher inequality of pre … equilibrium can increase - even if the income tax is used to counteract the increase in income inequality. This result does not …

Autonomous, Connected, Electric Shared vehicles (ACES) and public finance : an explorative analysis

Adler, Martin W; Peer, Stefanie; Sinozic, Tanja - 2019

This paper discusses the implications of autonomous-connected-electric-shared vehicles (ACES) for public finance, which have so far been widely ignored. In OECD countries, 5-12% of federal and up to 30% of local tax revenue are currently from fuel and vehicle taxation. The diffusion of ACES will...

Alternate solutions in mixing energy tax/subsidy and emission control policies

Heydari, Shahriar Shah; Vestergaard, Niels - 2015

In this article, we look at the combination of several market-based climate and energy policies and compare them with first best solution, i.e., a perfectly designed emission tax or emission cap level. It is shown that in the case an emission control policy is imperfect designed or implemented,...

Optimal taxation of human capital and credit constraints

Jacobs, Bas - 2002

We study optimal linear income taxation in a model with heterogeneous agents where earnings potentials are endogenously determined through human capital accumulation. Agents differ in initial conditions and ability to learn. Capital market imperfections prevent poor agents to invest optimally in...
