Optimal Profit Taxation as a Means of Financial Intermediation Undertaken by the Government
Jack Mintz
Working Paper from Economics Department, Queen's University
Abstract:
Corporate taxation as a means of encouraging risk taking is not required in a stock market economy but would raise social welfare in "farm" economies. If lumpsum transfers are not feasible, a corporate tax should take into account distributional effects of taxing wealth, but, in a stock market economy, the corporate tax need not take into account risk taking effects directly.
