On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This paper analyzes redistributive optimal capital and labor income taxation in endogenous growth models with heterogeneous agents. The government faces a dynamic equity-efficiency trade-off between redistribution, static distortions, and growth effects. Positive capital income taxation can be optimal, and the redistributive component of the optimal capital income tax is always positive. With optimal capital income taxation, the optimal marginal labor income tax rates are systematically lower than their static values. My results apply in the AK growth model and in a reduced-form endogenous growth framework that nests models of growth via expanding varieties and Schumpterian growth models.
