Abstract

Is it possible to increase growth and welfare by raising taxes and disposing of the tax revenues? We show this may indeed be the case in a simple model with endogenous technical change, represented by an increase in the variety of intermediate goods.

Keywords: Endogenous growth, welfare, lump-sum tax, R&D

JEL Classification: H21, 041
