摘要:This paper studies the optimal non linear income tax of couples. We build a general
unitary model of labor supply and allow multidimensional heterogeneity in a discrete
type framework. We concentrate our analysis on the resulting intra-family labor
allocation of labor supplies and show that this analysis is strongly related to the choice
of the tax unit (individual versus joint taxation). We give a necessary condition to
have fully joint taxation in this framework and discuss some examples.
