In this paper we study optimal taxation in a dynamic game played by a sequence of governments, one for each time period, and a private sector composed of a continuum of households. We focus on the Markov-Perfect equilibrium of this game under two assumptions on the extent of government's...

We focus on the Markov-perfect equilibrium of this game under two different assumptions on the extent of government's intra-period commitment,...
