3.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. The Costs of Taxation It does not matter whether a tax on a good is levied on buyers or sellers of the good…the price paid by buyers rises, and the price received by sellers falls.
4.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. The Effects of a Tax... Price 0 QuantityQuantity without tax Supply Demand Price without tax Price buyers pay Quantity with tax Size of tax Price sellers receive
5.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. The Effects of a Tax A tax places a wedge between the price buyers pay and the price sellers receive. Because of this tax wedge, the quantity sold falls below the level that would be sold without a tax. The size of the market for that good shrinks.
6.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Tax Revenue T = the size of the tax Q = the quantity of the good sold TQ = the government’s tax revenue

10.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. How a Tax Affects Welfare The change in total welfare includes: The change in consumer surplus, The change in producer surplus, The change in tax revenue. The losses to buyers and sellers exceed the revenue raised by the government. This fall in total surplus is called the deadweight loss.
11.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Deadweight Losses and the Gains from Trade Taxes cause deadweight losses because they prevent buyers and sellers from realizing some of the gains from trade.
12.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. The Deadweight Loss... Quantity0 Price Demand Supply Q1 PB Price = P1 without tax P S Q2 Size of tax Lost gains from trade Cost to sellers Value to buyers Reduction in quantity due to the tax
13.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Determinants of Deadweight Loss What determines whether the deadweight loss from a tax is large or small? The magnitude of the deadweight loss depends on how much the quantity supplied and quantity demanded respond to changes in the price. That, in turn, depends on the price elasticities of supply and demand.
14.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Tax Distortions and Elasticities... Quantity Price Demand Supply 0 When supply is relatively inelastic, the deadweight loss of a tax is small. (a) Inelastic Supply Size of tax

18.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Determinants of Deadweight Loss The greater the elasticities of demand and supply: the larger will be the decline in equilibrium quantity and, the greater the deadweight loss of a tax.
19.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. The Deadweight Loss Debate Some economists argue that labor taxes are highly distorting and believe that labor supply is more elastic.
20.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. The Deadweight Loss Debate Some examples of workers who may respond more to incentives: Workers who can adjust the number of hours they work Families with second earners Elderly who can choose when to retire Workers in the underground economy (i.e. those engaging in illegal activity)
21.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Deadweight Loss and Tax Revenue as Taxes Vary With each increase in the tax rate, the deadweight loss of the tax rises even more rapidly than the size of the tax.

25.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Deadweight Loss and Tax Revenue For the small tax, tax revenue is small. As the size of the tax rises, tax revenue grows. But as the size of the tax continues to rise, tax revenue falls because the higher tax reduces the size of the market.

28.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Deadweight Loss and Tax Revenue Vary with the Size of the Tax As the size of a tax increases, its deadweight loss quickly gets larger. By contrast, tax revenue first rises with the size of a tax; but then, as the tax gets larger, the market shrinks so much that tax revenue starts to fall.
29.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. The Laffer Curve and Supply-Side Economics The Laffer curve depicts the relationship between tax rates and tax revenue. Supply-side economics refers to the views of Reagan and Laffer who proposed that a tax cut would induce more people to work and thereby have the potential to increase tax revenues.
30.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Summary A tax on a good reduces the welfare of buyers and sellers of the good. And the reduction in consumer and producer surplus usually exceeds the revenues raised by the government.
31.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Summary The fall in total surplus – the sum of consumer surplus, producer surplus, and tax revenue – is called the deadweight loss of the tax.
32.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Summary Taxes have a deadweight loss because they cause buyers to consume less and sellers to produce less. This change in behavior shrinks the size of the market below the level that maximizes total surplus.
33.
Harcourt, Inc. items
and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Summary As a tax grows larger, it distorts incentives more, and its deadweight loss grows larger. Tax revenue first rises with the size of a tax. Eventually, however, a larger tax reduces tax revenue because it reduces the size of the market.
