Abstract
The conventional belief suggests that a tax increase can be regarded as an anti-inflation device because it reduces the aggregate demand. This paper makes a new attempt to reexamine the belief by introducing the principal tenets of the efficiency wage hypothesis. It is found that, in the context of an efficiency wage model, a rise in the income tax may stimulate the domestic price level, rather than depress it.
