Abstract: | The authors study the optimal tax policy when two instruments are available: a non-linear (wage) income tax and a proportional tax on capital income. They show that the second instrument ought to be used but that the tax rate is not necessarily positive. However, a positive tax rate is more likely when there is a positive correlation between inherited wealth and innate ability. |
