摘要:
This paper analyses commodity taxes in an economy where some production is centrally planned, and subject to price controls, and some is market determined. It shows that backward shifting of taxes can lead to significant distributional effects, and demonstrates how these lead to the modification of tax rules. The implications of these modifications are analysed using a numerical model based on Chinese data. Significant non-uniformity of tax rates is shown to be desirable in a case where standard tax rules imply uniformity. The sensitivity of optimal taxes to concern for inequality, revenue requirements and food rations are also demonstrated.
