A reexamination of the optimal nonlinear income tax

Article Abstract:

A model describing optimal nonlinear taxation is presented and reviewed. The model examines utility and density functions for which first order derivations are not possible. Thus, second order derivations are estimated to expand the model and determine possible solutions. The imposition of these conditions generates a kink in optimal net-income schedules and lead to bunching of individuals.

The optimal income tax when poverty is a public 'bad.'

Article Abstract:

A discussion of an optimal income tax problem in which the planner takes account of the comprehensive welfare of the individuals is presented. It was found that the emergence of negative marginal tax rates overturns the result of no distortion at the endpoints. However, this result can be restored by concentrating on social distortions, rather than individual ones.

Optimal non-linear income taxation for reduction of envy

Article Abstract:

The optimal non-linear income taxation issue on the basis of equitability is studied. An allotment is equitable, if no agent resents a proportion of the bundle of any other agent. The properties of Pareto undominated allotments for an assortment of equitability requirements are also studied taking into considerations the various models.
