摘要

Kruger and Ludwig present an analysis of optimal taxation and educational subsidies in an intergenerational framework. They consider how optimal policy might change when transition costs are taken into account. We present some questions about the analysis, including the potential of defining an optimal path for policy taking into account transition costs. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
