Income and commodity taxes in a two-good, two-period model with heterogeneous preferences

Article Abstract:

Tax structures in a two-period, two-good model that allow for endogenous labor supplies are analyzed. The model specifies the joint distribution of wage rates facing individuals in each period and the joint distribution of the different preference parameters employed. Distributional grounds for the use of a selective consumption tax and income tax when a social welfare function displaying inequality aversion is maximized, are indicated by the model.
