Tax incidence under oligopoly: a comparison of policy approaches
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze a methodology for evaluating tax incidence characterized by familiar forms of taxation in a general and analytical framework. A shift parameter in a generalized tax schedule was utilized to carry out the analysis under oligopoly. The study also examined multiple instruments within a tax structure and different dual policy approaches. Results indicated that the degree of tax shifting in an oligopoly is inversely correlated to the elasticity of the tax schedule.

Article Abstract:
The tax incidence equivalence holds that the burden of a unit tax on buyers and sellers is independent of who actually pays the tax. This is often mistaken for economic incidence. A study testing the tax incidence equivalence and analogous theorem for subsidies, is presented.
