Abstract

In this paper the authors study the the employment effects of a budget and revenue neutral restructuring of taxes levied on employers and employees. The authors derive a necessary and sufficient condition for taxes levied on workers to have the same employment effects as taxes levied on firms. Then they check whether this condition holds under different processes of wage determination.
