Direct or indirect tax instruments for redistribution: short-run versus long-run
Article Abstract:
In a long-run context, where individuals respond to tax incentives through the occupation margin, the key results of optimal tax theory, namely production efficiency, the irrelevance of substitution in production for optimal tax formulas are robust in relaxation of assumption of fixed price. Whereas in a short run situation, individuals are stuck to there occupations and can only adjust labor supply on the job.

However, the state can impose penalties to generate tax revenue greater than what is expected from full compliance.
