This leads individuals to make inefficient intertemporal decisions. This paper concerns optimal income taxation to correct for such anticipation-biases in a framework where consumers adapt to earlier consumption levels through a habit-formation process. The analysis is based on a general equilibrium OLG model with endogenous labor supply and savings where each consumer lives for three periods. Our results show how a paternalistic government may correct for the effects of anticipation-bias through a combination of time-variant marginal labor income taxes and savings subsidies. Furthermore, the optimal policy mix remains the same, irrespective of whether consumers commit to their original life-time plan for work hours and savings decided upon in the first period of life or re-optimize later on when realizing the failure to adapt.","25 S.","https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/19812||http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/FUDOCS_document_000000013775","eng","urn:nbn:de:kobv:188-fudocsseries000000000316-8||urn:nbn:de:kobv:188-fudocsseries000000000006-7","http://www.fu-berlin.de/sites/refubium/rechtliches/Nutzungsbedingungen","Optimal taxation||adaptation||habit-formation||anticipation-bias||paternalism","300 Sozialwissenschaften::330 Wirtschaft::336 Öffentliche Finanzen","Adaptation, anticipation-bias and optimal income taxation","Buch","open access","Volkswirtschaftslehre:::46a887cb-f472-42ae-a213-041a9fcecf17:::0","Wirtschaftswissenschaft","FUDOCS_derivate_000000001942","FUDOCS_document_000000013775","2012,13 : Economics","Diskussionsbeiträge des Fachbereichs Wirtschaftswissenschaft der Freien Universität Berlin"
