Abstract

In this chapter we consider a situation where a government levies a tax on the producer or on the consumer of the good. We show that, contrary to what one might guess, the economic burden of taxation, known in economics as tax incidence, does not depend on where the tax is levied, but on the price elasticity of demand and supply.
