Distribution de la richesse, bien-être social et politiques fiscales dans un modèle à générations imbriquées

Annals of Economics and Statistics, 2000, issue 57, 109-124

Abstract: Within an overlapping generations model with imperfect altruism, we study the long term wealth distribution. More precisely we analyze the effects of a tax on inheritance and a tax on saving on the agent's welfare and on social wealth inequality. Fiscal policies imply a decrease of inequality, but, at the same time cause a fall of the utility of all agents except for those who are non altruistic and receive no inheritance.
