Marek
Kapička
Winter 2010
This course will
studies issues in dynamic social insurance. We will first study
Mirrleesean economies where the underlying information structure
is explicitly specified, and all tax instruments arise endogenously. We
will discuss optimal capital and income taxation, optimal estate taxes
and other applications. We will also discuss other topics, such
as long run properties of the efficient allocations, efficient
allocations with persistent private information and the implications of
hidden savings.
Lectures: Tuesday, Thursday 12:30-1:45pm, NH 2111.
