Tax-related incomes policies and macroeconomic stability
Abstract
Several varieties of tax-based incomes policies (TIPs) are added to a standard macroeconomic model, to test whether they act as built-in stabilizers. We conclude that employer TIPS based on price increases, and employee TIPS based on wage increases act as built-in destabilizers, and that only an employer TIP based on wage increases can avoid this problem.
