In this paper,we construct an equilibrium search model of the labor market augmented to include lump sum taxes that finance government expenditures. Using the model, we can decompose the decline in labor force participation (LFP) into the policy effect and that of other factors such as declining...

We construct a model of endogenous growth in which public capital financed by distortionary taxes influences investment specific technological change. Our main result is that there exist infinitely many capital and labor tax-subsidy combinations that decentralize the planner's growth rate. Hence...
