Author

  • Christiansen, Vidar

Abstract

State contingent and asset specific capital income taxes are studied within the framework of a two-period, two-asset and two-state model. Distortions of savings and choice of portfolio in the presence of uncertainty are discussed. Important properties of the taxes are exposed. Conditions for having no portfolio distortion at the tax optimum are established.
