A Concept of Demand Relevant to the Study of Taxation Problems

Abstract

This paper studies, in a world of two goods, a consumer's optimization behavior when it is subject to a (linear) production restraint. Two important economic operators came out of this analysis: the production frontier demand curve and a price frontier that relates the equilibrium prices. If in addition to this the tax policy of government and the condition of an equilibrated budget are properly specified, a complete (nonlinear) system of equations apt to the study of taxation problems emerges. This analytical framework is appropriate to obtain measures of excess burdens of taxation based on the consumer's surplus approach.
