On the Equivalence between Labor and Consumption Taxation

No 2593, CESifo Working Paper Series from CESifo

Abstract: This article studies the equivalence between labor and consumption taxes in a stochastic context, where the government can undertake an active portfolio management strategy by investing in both risk-free and risky assets. Using a two-period model we show that such taxes let consumers make the same decisions, and can finance the same amount of government spending in each period.
