Optimal Taxation under Regional Inequality

Optimal Taxation under Regional Inequality

We study how regional productivity di¤erences and labor mobility shape optimal Mirrleesian tax-transfer schemes. When tax schedules are not al- lowed to differ across regions, productivity-enhancing inter-regional migra- tion exerts a downward pressure on optimal marginal tax rates. When regiona...

Miêu tả
Tóm tắt:We study how regional productivity di¤erences and labor mobility shape optimal Mirrleesian tax-transfer schemes. When tax schedules are not al- lowed to differ across regions, productivity-enhancing inter-regional migra- tion exerts a downward pressure on optimal marginal tax rates. When regionally di¤erentiated taxation is allowed, marginal tax rates in high- (low-)productivity regions should be corrected downwards (upwards) rela- tive to the benchmark without migration. Simulations of the productivity di¤erences between metropolitan and other areas of the US indicate that migration affects the optimal tax-transfer schedule more strongly in the regionally differentiated rather than in the undi¤erentiated case.
