Optimal tax progressivity in imperfect labour markets
Optimal tax progressivity in imperfect labour markets is a scholarly work, published in 1999 in ''Labour Economics''. The main subjects of the publication include welfare spending, gender inequality, productivity, deadweight loss, labour economics, unemployment, wage, economics, comparative statics, tax evasion, involuntary unemployment, generosity, and past imperfect. This suggests that there may be an optimal degree of tax progressivity where the marginal welfare gain from reduced involuntary unemployment is just offset by the marginal welfare loss from lower productivity.
