Optimal Taxation with Joint Production of Agriculture and Rural Amenities

No 6615, CEPR Discussion Papers from C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers

Abstract: We show that, when there is joint production of an agricultural good and rural amenities, the first-best allocation of resources can be implemented with a tax on the agricultural good and some subsidies on the production factors (land and labour). The use of a subsidy on the agricultural good can only be explained by the desire of the policymaker to redistribute income from the consumers to the farmers.
