Optimal fiscal and public expenditure policy in a two-class economy

Article Abstract:

A standard optimal taxation model of two persons and two goods is used to evaluate the proper calculation of tax rates on commodities and the action between marginal and commodity taxes. The model illustrates the need to tax more heavily the good that is complementary with leisure, with regards to two private goods. Accepted rules for income taxes are illustrated to be supported by considerations for counteracting the distortions made on the commodity markets.
