It has been shown that, with uninsurable investment risks, under-accumulation of capital may result compared to the complete markets economy. We show that reducing somewhat the capital income tax rate increases the capital stock and leads to a welfare gain. The complete elimination of the capital income tax, however, is not necessarily welfare improving.$$7Abstract 000001509 520__ $$aL’étude examine les conséquences, du point de vue du bien-être et de l’accumulation du capital, d’une réduction de l’impôt sur le revenu du capital dans le cadre d’un modèle d’équilibre général où les risques d’investissement ne sont pas assurables. Il a été démontré que la présence de tels risques peut provoquer une sous-accumulation du capital par rapport à ce que l’on observe dans une économie dotée de marchés complets. Les auteurs montrent qu’une réduction modérée du taux d’imposition du revenu du capital a pour effet d’accroître le stock de capital et entraîne une amélioration du bien-être. Cependant, l’élimination totale de l’impôt sur le revenu du capital ne s’accompagne pas nécessairement d’un gain de bien-être.$$7Résumé 000001509 540__ $$aCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International$$uhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode$$fCC-BY-4.0 000001509 6531_ $$aEconomic models 000001509 6531_ $$aModèles économiques 000001509 7001_ $$aMeh, Césaire 000001509 7001_ $$aTerajima, Yaz 000001509 789__ $$w1701-9397$$2ISSN$$eIsPartOf 000001509 791__ $$aJournalArticle$$eIsPreviousVersionOf$$iStaff Working Paper is published in peer-reviewed journal$$2DOI$$tUninsurable investment risks and capital income taxation$$w10.1007/s10436-008-0112-8$$c2009$$dAnnals of Finance (Springer)$$j5$$k3-4$$o521$$q541 000001509 8301_ $$aStaff Working Paper 000001509 8301_ $$aDocument de travail du personnel 000001509 8564_ $$uhttps://www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca/record/1509/files/wp09-3.pdf$$9b2e7feaf-6fcc-4abe-8074-fcfacab82eea$$s263448$$zFile Source: Bank of Canada website, 2024 000001509 909CO $$ooai:www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca:1509$$pbibliographic 000001509 980__ $$aStaff Research 000001509 980__ $$aRDM 000001509 991__ $$aPublic
