Effi ciency Cost with Income Effects<br />

Same formula, but all elasticities are now compensated:<br />

EB(t S ) ≃ − 1 2 (tS ) 2 ∂x c /∂t S<br />

∂x c /∂p ∂x c /∂t S<br />

= 1 2 (θc t S ) 2 ε c D<br />

p + t S<br />

Compensated price demand: dx c /dp = dx/dp + xdx/dZ<br />

Compensated tax demand: dx c /dt S = dx/dt S + xdx/dZ<br />

Compensated tax demand does not necessarily satisfy Slutsky<br />

condition dx c /dt S < 0 b/c it is not generated by utility maximization<br />
