A Negative Income Tax And Low Income Farm Families

Author

Listed:
  • Chisholm, Anthony H.

Abstract

An efficient procedure is proposed for making welfare payments to low income farm families. This is a negative income tax. It uses the income tax system for linking directly transfer payments to income needs, without unduly adverse effects on resource allocation. The negative income tax proposal is considered in relation to rural adjustment and reconstruction.
