- W2338749958 abstract "The economic literature on “optimal income taxation” addresses the question of how to design tax and transfer policy so as to maximize “social welfare,” which is some function of the wellbeing of all members of society. It clarifies how the social-welfare-maximizing policy depends on one’s philosophy of distributive justice, and on empirical evidence about the behavioral response to incentives, and thus provides a systematic way of evaluating the tradeoff between equity and efficiency. Here, I explain the key insights of the optimal income taxation literature in a way that should be accessible to those with a familiarity with introductory economics. Next, I present evidence on inequality in economic well-being the U.S., how it has been changing over time, and to what extent tax and transfer policies reduce inequality. I then consider different possible explanations for rising inequality, and discuss why different explanations may have different implications the efficiency costs of taxation." @default.
