Economic models in much of the public economics literature have
been slow to reflect the significant changes towards double-income
households throughout the developed world. This graduate-level text
develops a more sophisticated approach to household economics, one
that allows for multiple-income earners and shared decision-making.
This approach is used to present a fundamentally new view of
consumption. It then applies this to an analysis of tax systems,
combining theoretical analysis of optimal taxation and tax reform
with careful empirical study of the characteristics of income tax
systems in four different countries: Australia, Germany, the UK and
the USA. The book is particularly concerned with analysing, both
theoretically and empirically, the impact of taxation on female
labour supply, and identifying its effects on work incentives and
fairness of income distribution. All this adds up to a fascinating
new approach to the economics of household for researchers in both
public and private sectors.
