| Research Abstract |
We have taken part in the discussion regarding the effects of unemployment benefits. It has shown that unemployment benefits may well decrease unemployment as long as these are indexed by the competitive wage and are financed by the corporate income tax, via using the balanced budget incidence analysis.
When we consider whether Keynesian ideas work in India, our considerations take us back to its applicability and are of some intuitive appeal from the real world point of view. Hence, we have a strong argument of counter-intuitive effects of unemployment benefits.
We reexamined the optimal tax problems in the presence of externalities. Efficiency restrain levels of polluting taxes generate revenues so that we can reduce rates on consumption commodities that distort the functioning of the economy. So these polluting taxes can reduce excessive levels of pollution and also these revenues can use unemployment benefits. These public policies can decrease unemployment labors.
