Description
This volume examines a number of issues in public economics based on questions of taxation, private information and capital. Perhaps the greatest challenge, to which much recent work in public economics has been addressed, concerns private matters. People have private information about their earnings abilities, for example, that they will be tempted to conceal from a government that tries to reconcile efficiency with justice by a tax on abilities to earn. Part of the book explores the theme of how private information constrains public choice. Other chapters consider the problem of capital - should it be taxed and what would be the consequences of abolishing taxes on capital? How does income tax affect capital accumulation and the distribution of income? Also examined are questions of tax reform, tax incidence and tax evasion. The book examines how international trade affects the analysis of tax reform and what opportunities multilateral tax reforms provide - a particularly topical issue given the single European market programme for 1992.
