| Research Abstract |
Incorporating consumption externalities into macroeconomic dynamic models, we study optimal tax policies as well as the effects of consumption externalities on consumption, capital stock and wealth distribution. In this research, our researches consist of the following two points. First, in the closed economy with two groups, we show that the intergroup consumption externalities as well as the intragroup consumption externalities have a large impact on wealth distribution. Second, we interlink consumption externalities and wealth preference and examine the effects of consumption externalities and the optimal tax policies.
