Título: Optimal Income Taxation: An Example with a U-Shaped Pattern of Optimal Marginal Tax Rates
Fuente: American Economic Review. v.88, n.1. American Economic Association
Páginas: pp. 83-95
Año: Mar. 1998
Resumen: Using the Mirrlees optimal income tax model with quasi-linear preferences, the paper examines conditions for marginal tax rates to be rising at high income levels and declining in an interval containing the modal skill. It examines conditions for the marginal tax rate to be higher at a low skill level than at the high skill level with the same density--an argument only holding for skill levels above a cutoff where resources of a worker are marginally of the same value as resources of the government. Data on earnings rates are presented.

Título: Proposals to Restructure Social Security
Fuente: Journal of Economic Perspectives. v.10, n.3. American Economic Association
Páginas: pp. 67-88
Año: summer 1996
Resumen: This paper discusses five proposed changes in Social Security: indexing the normal retirement age to life expectancy (as Sweden is doing); investing part of the trust funds in private securities; partial privatization (as has been proposed by Senators Kerrey and Simpson, Sweden is doing and Mexico has done); replacing Social Security by individually mandated savings (as was done in Chile in 1981); and mandating employer provided retirement savings (as recently legislated in Australia and is effectively the case in some European countries.) The economics of Social Security and the politics of restoring (and preserving) actuarial balance are discussed.

Título: Contingent Valuation: Is Some Number Better than No Number?
Fuente: Journal of Economic Perspectives. v.8, n.4. American Economic Association
Páginas: pp. 45-64
Año: fall 1994
Resumen: Without market outcomes for comparison, internal consistency tests, particularly adding-up tests, are needed for credibility. When tested, contingent valuation has failed. Proponents find surveys tested poorly done. To the authors’ knowledge, no survey has passed these tests. The ’embedding effect’ is the similarity of willingness-to-pay responses that theory suggests (and sometimes requires) be different. This problem has long been recognized but not solved. The authors conclude that current methods are not suitable for damage assessment or benefit-cost analysis. They believe the problems come from an absence of preferences, not a flaw in survey methodology, making improvement unlikely.

Título: Two Improvements on the Clinton Framework
Fuente: Journal of Economic Perspectives. v.8, n.3. American Economic Association
Páginas: pp. 61-66
Año: summer 1994
Resumen: Under the Clinton proposal, states choose a single payer or large regional alliances, where individuals choose from all plans in the market. This should give the high administrative costs of individual choice, not those of group choice. States should have another option--small alliances offering limited, group-based choice. Clinton proposes comprehensive insurance for all, with courts enforcing coverage for all medically necessary services not explicitly excluded. Covered services are not coordinated with resources available. Eventually, rationing will be needed. Less comprehensive basic coverage is an additional tool for rationing and decreases the government’s role in determining health spending.
