Stochastic Mechanisms and Quasi-Linear Preferences

boone, jan; Schottmuller, C. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2012

Abstract: Many optimal contracting papers use quasi-linear preferences. To exclude stochastic mechanisms they impose a … (sufficient) condition on how the curvature of an agent's objective function varies with type. We show with quasi-linear … preferences that an optimal deterministic outcome without bunching implies that stochastic mechanisms are not optimal (without any …

Tagging with leisure needs

PESTIEAU, Pierre; RACIONERO, Maria - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 2010

We study optimal redistributive taxes when individuals differ in two characteristics - earning ability and leisure needs - assumed to be imperfectly correlated. Individuals have private information about their abilities but needs are observable. With two different levels of observable needs the...

Optimal redistribution with unobservable disability: welfarist versus non-welfarist social objectives

PESTIEAU, Pierre; RACIONERO, Maria - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 2007

This paper examines the optimal non linear income and commodity tax when the same labor disutility can receive two alternative interpretations, taste for leisure and disability, but the disability is not readily observable. We compare the optimal policyunder alternative social objectives,...
