On revenue and welfare dominance of ad valorem taxes in two-sided markets
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
A benchmark result in public economics is that it is possible to increase both tax revenue and welfare by making a monopoly subject to ad valorem taxes rather than unit taxes. We show that such revenue and welfare dominance does not hold in two-sided markets.
