Monotonic redistribution of non-negative allocations: A case for proportional taxation revisited

Author

Listed:
  • Casajus, André

Abstract

We reconsider Casajus’ (forthcoming) characterization of uniformly proportional taxation by three properties of redistribution: efficiency, symmetry, and monotonicity. When restricted to non-negative income, these properties imply proportional taxation in a weaker sense—the tax rate may vary with total income but only in an economically reasonable way.
