A NONLINEAR INCOME TAX PROBLEM - HOW TO FIND A PARETO OPTIMAL TAX-SYSTEM
(2009)Department of Economics
- Abstract
- This thesis is concerned with the problems that a government of a country faces when it will find the Pareto optimal tax-system, for finitely many inhabitants in a country where individuals have quasilinear preferences and a lack of information of wage or hours worked by any particular individual, based on Weymark's model (1986, p. 201-204).
The aim of this thesis is to describe pedagogically different methods which can be used by a government to find the maximum welfare of a country and its effect on utility of each individual. In the first method the government uses the self-selection constraints and we introduce new lemmas, theorems and formulas. In the second method we use Lagrange's optimization theorem.
