The Ahmad-Stern approach revisited

Carlos Urzúa

Economics Bulletin, 2005, vol. 8, issue 4, 1-8

Abstract: This paper extends the methodology first proposed by Ahmad and Stern for the design of tax reforms that are optimal at the margin. The extension centers on a sharper approximation of welfare measures. The original approach and its variant are illustrated in the case of the current Mexican tax system.
