内容提要

We study the progressivity of income taxation in an infinite-horizon Aiyagari-Bewley-Huggett economy with idiosyncratic risk in capital income as well as labor income. We investigate the tax incidence of increasing tax progressivity through perturbations on the system of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) and Kolmogorov Forward (KF) equations. Then, we adopt the variational approach to decompose the welfare effect of increasing tax progressivity into several components, showing that the response of the wealth distribution to taxation is important in the determination of optimal tax progressivity.
