Recently, several papers have re-examined the so-called production efficiency theorem and the Atkinson and Stiglitz theorem on commodity taxes in the optimal taxation literature. Naito (1999) showed that indirect redistribution through production distortion or consumption distortion can...

This paper analyzes the role of production distortion for income redistribution in an international trade model. In particular, it examines the role of the Stolper and Samuelson effect (Stolper and Samuelson, 1941) on efficient income redistribution. It first shows that production inefficiency...

This paper analyzes optimal nonlinear income and inheritance taxation by incorporating two types of models that were developed independently in the public finance literature: an infinite horizon representative agent model such as Judd (1995), Chamley (1986) and Lucas (1992), and asymmetric...
