Income Taxation, Endogenous Factor Prices and Production Efficiency

Thomas Gaube

Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 2005, vol. 107, issue 2, 335-352

Abstract: In an analysis of a two‐type income tax model with endogenous wages, this paper shows that production efficiency is violated in the optimum with (i) non‐linear and (ii) linear income taxation if and only if a distortionary tax schedule is implemented. These findings complement earlier results of the literature. In passing, it is also shown that optima with non‐linear redistributive income taxation cannot be identified with the redistributive regime if the assumption of endogenous wages is taken seriously.
