Short Run and Long Run in the Theory of Tax Incidence

Author

  • Bhatia, Kul B

Abstract

Many definitions of short run and long run, ranging from zero elasticities of substitution and demand to unchanged factor prices, exist in the tax-incidence literature. This paper emphasizes the Marshallian approach incorporating specific and mobile factors. In the short run, labor is mobile, but capital is sector-specific. In the long run, capital becomes quasi-fixed and then perfectly mobile. Problems inherent in other specifications are illustrated by taxing one good in a two-sector general equilibrium model with endogenous demand. Several results on tax-incidence in the short run and the long run are also derived.
