Abstract

For a finite population with quasilinear preferences, it is shown how Mirrlees' optimal nonlinear income tax problem can be simplified to a reduced-form problem involving only the allocation of the consumption good. This result is a finite version of a proposition established in the continuum by S. Lollivier and J.-C. Rochet.
