| Abstract: | Governments use expenditures extensively as redistributive devices. Examples include the public provision of health, education, welfare, and public pensions. The authors' purpose is to investigate the normative rationale for such policies. In particular, they study the role of government expenditures as purely redistributive devices given that the government also uses an optimal non-linear income tax. The authors assume that public provision to an individual cannot be related to individual characteristics or income, so it is uniform across individuals. |
