Optimal Income Taxation: Outline 1 Optimal Static Income Taxation: Mirrlees (1971) 2 Empirical Implementation of Mirrlees Model: Saez (2001) 3 Income and Commodity Taxation: Atkinson and Stiglitz (1976) 4 Optimal Transfer Programs: Saez (2002) Public Economics Lectures () Part 4: Optimal Taxation 51 / 121
Key Concepts for Taxes/Transfers Let T (z) denote tax liability as a function of earnings z 1 Transfer benefit with zero earnings −T (0) [sometimes called demogrant or lumpsum grant] 2 Marginal tax rate T ′ (z): individual keeps 1 − T ′ (z) for an additional $1 of earnings (relevant for intensive margin labor supply responses) 3 Participation tax rate τ p = [T (z) − T (0)]/z: individual keeps fraction 1 − τ p of earnings when moving from zero earnings to earnings z: z − T (z) = −T (0) + z − [T (z) − T (0)] = −T (0) + z · (1 − τ p ) Relevant for extensive margin labor supply responses 4 Break-even earnings point z ∗ : point at which T (z ∗ ) = 0 Public Economics Lectures () Part 4: Optimal Taxation 52 / 121
