| Abstract: | This article examines both tax equivalence and an analogous theorem for subsidies using competitive laboratory markets. The tax incidence equivalence holds that the burden of a unit tax on buyers and sellers is independent of who actually pays the tax. The results suggest strong support for both theories. However, the support requires sufficiently large markets. |
