Ramsey Taxation in the Open Economy

No 806, 2018 Meeting Papers from Society for Economic Dynamics

Abstract: We study cooperative optimal Ramsey equilibria in the open economy addressing classic policy questions: Should there be restrictions to free trade and capital mobility? Should capital income be taxed? Should goods be taxed based on origin or destination? What are desirable border adjustments? Can a Ramsey allocation be implemented with residence based taxes on assets? We characterize optimal wedges and analyze alternative policy implementations.
