2 . Inroduion The dynami opimal puli finane prolem, referred o as Ramsey prolem, is one of he mos fundamenal and influenial eonomi prolems. In his prolem, he governmen hooses is axde poliy mix o maximize he household s welfare y aing ino aoun he equilirium reaion of privae agens o he ax poliy. A eleraed resul is ha he ax rae on (apial inome should e high in he iniial periods and hen roughly zero (see hamley, 986, and Judd, 985. Two approahes have een used o solve his prolem: he primal and he dual. In he primal, we eliminae axes and pries, so ha he governmen an e hough as direly using he quaniies as onrols. In he dual, he governmen uses he ax raes or pries as onrols. Mos papers ha have fully solved he Ramsey prolem (y full soluion, we mean no only he aove eleraed qualiaive resul, u also a quaniaive soluion of poliies and ouomes aross differen ax regimes 2 have used he primal approah. We are no aware of a full soluion o a dual prolem. This is eause, as is widely reognized (see e.g. Jones e al., 997, p. 99, he primal is onsideraly simpler han he dual. 3 This paper fully solves a Ramsey ax poliy prolem y applying oh approahes, and ompares hem. To mae he analysis lear and raale, we hoose a simple seup. The model is as in he lieraure exep ha we use a single inome ax and a linear A produion ehnology. The former is no imporan eause an inome ax inheris he feaures of a apial inome ax. The A ehnology has he advanage ha here are no ransiion dynamis wihin eah ax poliy regime; his redues he omplexiy of he Ramsey prolem wihou affeing he ey poins. As is nown, here are hree ax poliy regimes: an iniial period during whih he ax rae is exogenously given; he period(s of relaively heavy hosen ax raes; and he laer period(s of hosen zero ax raes. We will herefore presen hree suses of equaions assoiaed wih hese hree regimes and show how he hree suses are ineronneed o give a sysem of equaions ha haraerizes he full Ramsey prolem. Beyond his, we will solve he Ramsey sysem numerially. We will do so under oh he primal and he dual approah. See e.g. Ljungqvis and Sargen (2, haper 2 for a reen review of he lieraure. The opimal long-run ax rae an e differen from zero if here are imperfeions. Bu he ey logi remains: i is opimal o heavily ax inelasially supplied inpus. 2 As Ljungqvis and Sargen (2, p. 349 poin ou, a qualiaive analysis provides imporan insighs u anno yield definie resuls. Wha is he value of he non-zero ax rae(s in he iniial period(s? Wha is for onsumpion, growh, e, aross differen ax regimes? These quesions have o e sudied numerially. 3 In he Ramsey prolem, irrespeively of he soluion approah used, one anno solve firs for he long run and in urn sudy he ransiion period, as is ypially he ase in growh models. Insead, one has o solve simulaneously for he long run and he whole opimal pah. hari e al. (994 were he firs ones who oained numerial resuls y applying he primal approah. Bu, as far as we now, here are no analogous resuls y applying he dual approah (hamley, 986, p. 68, has provided a seh of a full dual soluion.
3 The main resuls are as follows. The dual prolem is indeed more omplex o solve (in erms of equaions and unnowns. I is hene harder o find ranges of parameer values, iniial ondiions and exogenous governmen spending ha yield a dual soluion. The primal soluion is easier o oain. This an parly explain he la of full, numerial soluions o he dual prolem. Neverheless, given a soluion, he wo approahes give idenial resuls along he whole opimal pah as expeed. 4 The res of he paper is as follows. Seion 2 presens he eonomy and solves for is ompeiive equilirium. Seion 3 solves he Ramsey poliy prolem y using he primal approah, while Seion 4 uses he dual approah. Seion 5 onludes. 2. ompeiive equilirium 2. Desripion of he eonomy and how we are going o wor onsider a losed eonomy wih an individual agen and a governmen. The individual onsumes, saves in he form of apial and governmen onds, and produes a single good aording o a linear A produion ehnology. The governmen imposes an inome ax and issues onds o finane puli servies, where he laer ener he individual s uiliy funion. We assume disree ime, infinie ime-horizons and perfe foresigh. The governmen is enevolen and hooses he pah of he ax rae one-and-for-all a ime y aing ino aoun he ompeiive equilirium. 5 Afer we presen he ompeiive equilirium, we solve he primal prolem. The dual will follow nex. This is for onveniene. 2.2 Individuals Using for simpliiy a log-linear uiliy funion, he individual maximizes: β [ ν ln ( ν ln H ] ( where and H are respeively privae onsumpion and puli onsumpion a, < β < is he disoun rae and <ν < is he weigh given o privae relaive o puli onsumpion. The wihin-period udge onsrain is: 4 Solving he prolem also under he dual approah is no only for inelleual uriosiy. In addiion o he ig numer of papers ha have used he dual approah o ge qualiaive resuls, here are ases (in riher seups where i is no possile o redue he onsrains o he Ramsey prolem ino a simple implemenailiy (udge onsrain and a resoure equaion. 5 Following mos of he lieraure, we assume ha governmen expendiure is exogenous. Our main resuls do no hange if governmen expendiure is also hosen opimally (resuls are availale upon reques. 2
4 B B ( τ A( B (2 where is end-of-period apial, B is end-of-period onds, τ < is he ax rae a and A > is a parameer. We assume for simpliiy ha apial and onds pay he same gross reurn, A, and are axed a he same rae, τ. We also assume zero apial depreiaion. The iniial sos, and B, are given. The household hooses {, } B, < o maximize ( suje o ( Governmen udge onsrain To finane puli expendiure, H, he governmen axes all ypes of inome a a rae τ < < and issues onds. The wihin-period governmen udge onsrain is: B B H AB τ A( B (3 2.4 ompeiive equilirium (E Given he pahs of he independen poliy insrumens {, H } τ and iniial ondiions for and B, a E is an alloaion {, } B suh ha he individual s prolem is solved,, mares lear and udge onsrains are saisfied. There are wo equivalen ways of presening he E. In he firs, he E is summarized y he resoure onsrain holding in eah period and a single implemenailiy (udge onsrain in period (see Appendix A ha also ompares our implemenailiy onsrain (4 o he lieraure: 6 H A (4a [ ( τ β A ]( B (4 where, in (4a-(4, we have eliminaed pries and axes apar from τ, whih is exogenously given o mae he poliy prolem nonrivial (see elow for deails. Seondly, and equivalenly, he E an e summarized y he individual Euler equaion, he resoure onsrain and governmen udge onsrain in eah period (see Appendix A: 6 and B are exogenously given iniial sos, while period- onsumpion,, is endogenous. Thus, in our seup, follows from (4; see also elow. 3

For simpliiy, in he ompuaions elow, we will assume ha h h is onsan over ime. Also, he period- ax rae, τ <, will e aen as given; oherwise he governmen would use i as a lump-sum ax whih maes he poliy prolem firs-es and hene rivial (see e.g. Ljungqvis and Sargen, 2, pp The primal approah o he Ramsey prolem, In he primal approah, he governmen hooses he pahs of { } o maximize ( suje o (4a-(4. To mae our resuls easily omparale, we follow hari e al. (994 and Ljungqvis and Sargen (2, pp The Lagrangean is: β { ν ln ( νln H [ A H ] } ( B [ ( τ A] ξ (6 β where ξ is an aemporal muliplier assoiaed wih (4 and is a dynami muliplier assoiaed wih (4a. As is nown (see e.g. hari e. al, 994, p. 625, and Ljungqvis and Sargen, 2, p. 322, he period- alloaions differ from he same rules governing ehavior from period onward. This is eause he period- firs-order ondiions inlude erms relaed o he iniial so of asses, and B. Speifially, a he firs-order ondiions for and are: 7 Well-nown papers ha use he primal approah inlude Luas (99, hari e al. (994 and Jones e al. (997. 4

Qualiaive feaures In he asene of exogenous upper ounds on he ax rae, here an e one period only wih nonzero axaion, and his is a. 8 Aually, i is sraighforward o show y woring as in hari e al. (994, pp ha, in his lass of uiliy funions, he opimal ax rae is zero a 2 onward. Thus, here are hree ax poliy regimes ha orrespond o, and 2, where τ is exogenously given and τ for 2. All his is onfirmed elow. 3.2 The full Ramsey sysem We now presen he full sysem. We wor in wo seps. Firs, we omine he firs-order ondiions - equaions (7a-, (8a- and he onsrains (4a- - so as o saisfy oninuiy aross poliy regimes. Reall ha here are hree disin poliy regimes, whih orrespond o periods, and 2. Seond, sine he model allows for long-erm growh, we ransform he variales o mae hem saionary. In pariular, we define a all, whih is a jump variale. Thus, as in he asi A model, afer period 2 here are no ransiional dynamis; as soon as he zero ax rae regime sars a 2 wih given values of apial and onds, 2 and B 2, all saionary 8 If here are exogenous upper ounds on he ax rae, i is opimal o se he ax rae a is upper ound for as many periods as neessary and zero hereafer.

For insane, he ax rae in he firs period is posiive, τ.7, while i is zero in he long run (a 2. The value of he aemporal muliplier assoiaed wih he implemenailiy onsrain, ξ, is posiive.

We repor ha omparaive sai exerises give inuiive resuls. For insane, a higher τ leads o a fall in τ and an inrease in he growh rae of onsumpion and apial in period onward. A higher leads o opposie effes. We finally repor ha our resuls are rous o hanges in he values of parameers, iniial ondiions and exogenous variales. 4.
