| Abstract: | This article studies optimal taxation under a Rawlsian criterion. In the model, the only decision of the agents is to participate, or not, to the labour force. It also allows heterogeneity both in the agents productivities and aversion to work. The authors show how the optimal incentive schemes depend on the underlying structure of the preferences. |
