| Tiivistelmä: | In this paper the authors extend the classic optimum linear income tax model to a twice repeated game. A utilitarian policy-maker decides on the second-period tax system on the basis of observed first-period behavior. The authors summarize their findings as follows. First, the static optimal linear tax results cannot be expected to hold in a dynamic setting. Second, more productive households are likely to mimic the behavior of less productive households. Third, the optimal dynamic first-period tax rate might be negative. |
