Taxing Top Earners: A Human Capital Perspective

Mark Huggett and Alejandro Badel ()

No 625, 2013 Meeting Papers from Society for Economic Dynamics

Abstract: We analyze the Diamond-Saez policy recommendation within a human capital model. We calculate the steady-state welfare implications of raising the marginal income tax rate on top incomes from current levels to those in the range of 54 percent to 80 percent. We also calculate the transitional dynamics implied by such a modification of the US tax system.
