Dividend taxation in an infinite-horizon general equilibrium model

Pham, Ngoc-Sang (2017): Dividend taxation in an infinite-horizon general equilibrium model.

Abstract

We consider an infinite-horizon general equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents and financial market imperfections. We investigate the role of dividend taxation on economic growth and asset price. The optimal dividend taxation is also studied.
