The Political Economy of Redistribution and Dynamic Resource Allocation

收入再分配对个人和企业都有影响。再分配可能发生在富人和穷人之间、个人之间、企业和受补贴的企业之间。政党和政治家决定再分配政策。再分配政策不一定会带来理想的经济结果。拟议的研究议程将确定一些再分配政策是否在长期内比在短期内具有更理想的效果。它将审查再分配政策对职业和地理选择的影响，以及对渐进式再分配有明显不同偏好的政党的影响。最后，它将研究由不同地方和不同级别政府（联邦、州和地方）做出的再分配决策所决定的个人和企业的搬迁选择。重点将放在这一分析的理论基础上，但也会进行一些实例研究。

9507692 Dixit Redistribution of income affects both individuals and businesses. Redistribution may be between rich and poor and individuals or businesses and subsidized businesses. Political parties and politicians determine redistributive policy. Redistributive policies do not necessarily lead to desirable economic outcomes. The proposed research agenda will determine if some redistributive policies have more desirable effects in the long run than in the short run. It will examine the impact of redistributive polices on occupational and geographic choices and the effect of political parties having distinctly different preferences for progressive redistribution. Finally, it will look at the relocation choices made by individuals and businesses as determined by the redistributive decisions made by different localities and different levels of government (federal, state, and local). The emphasis will be on theoretical foundations for this analysis, but some instances case studies will be done.
