Abstract

Ebben a cikkben az adómorál hatását elemezzük a személyi jövedelemadó (béradó) progresszív rendszerének társadalmilag optimális alakjára. Feltesszük, hogy az állampolgári jogon járó alapjáradékot és a közkiadást lineáris béradó fedezi. A bevallott kereseteket az egyének hasznosságmaximalizálásából származtatjuk, amikor keresetük bevallásából a dolgozók erkölcsi szükségletei - adómoráljuktól függően - jobban kielégülnek, valamint feltételezve, hogy a közjavak fogyasztásából senkit sem lehet kizárni. A kormányzat egy haszonelvű társadalmi jóléti függvényt maximalizál, amely figyelembe veszi a közkiadásokból fakadó egyéni hasznosságokat is. Számpéldán igazoljuk, hogy a társadalmilag optimális újraelosztás foka és a közkiadások szintje az egyének adómoráljának egyaránt növekvő függvénye.* Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: H21, H26, H41, D58.
