A two-region model of redistribution, migration and international trade

Article Abstract:

A simple two-sector or two-region model was formulated in which heterogenous labor is intersectorally mobile. The model, which was developed in relation to an effort to integrate the theory of international trade with an analysis of sectoral or regional income redistribution, involves workers with varying labor productivity or labor volume. Differences observed from the model's two countries, in terms of labor forces and income redistribution, can be used as determinant of international trade.

On the optimality of the Nordic system of dual income taxation

Article Abstract:

The theoretical feasibility of the Nordic system of dual income taxation is examined. It is argued that conventional income tax favors human capital investment, which is taxed based on cash flow. Private rate of return to human capital investments is therefore not lessened by proportional tax on labor income as opposed to other investments that are lessened by tax on capital income. This bias is offset by a combined progressive tax on labor income and a proportional tax on capital income.
