Tax structures whose progressivity is inflation neutral

Gerald A. Beer

Vol. 66 (1976), No. 2, 305–311
Abstract

It is the purpose of this paper to formalize mathematically the effect of inflation on the progressivity or vertical equity of individual income tax using some standard measures of vertical equity. As an application, we produce tax structures whose progressivity is inflation neutral.
