Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We quantitatively characterize the optimal capital and labor income tax in an
overlapping generations model with idiosyncratic, uninsurable income shocks
and permanent productivity differences of households. The optimal capital
income tax rate is significantly positive at 36 percent. The optimal progressive
labor income tax is, roughly, a flat tax of 23 percent with a deduction of $7,200
(relative to average household income of $42,000). The high optimal capital
income tax is mainly driven by the life-cycle structure of the model, whereas the
optimal progressivity of the labor income tax is attributable to the insurance
and redistribution role of the tax system. (JEL E13, H21, H24, H25)
