Abstract

Policies to redistribute income between high- and low-income groups are well known to distort factor supply decisions and thereby to generate deadweight losses incidental to income redistribution. This paper examines the effects that these same distortions may also have on factor supplies themselves, and thus on the implied patterns of production and international trade.
