| Tiivistelmä: | Time consistency problems arise even if the government has access to nondistortionary tax instruments, in a dynamic economy whose government is interested in equity and efficiency. In production moral hazard leads to a nondegenerate distribution of income which the government would like to flatten ex post. Self-enforcing social agreements can mitigate the tendency toward excessive redistribution. The nature of distortions caused by the time consistency problem is investigated, and it is shown that in the constrained-optimal equilibrium usually a linear tax schelude is imposed. |
