Abstract: | Hamada showed that the income transfer from capitalists to workers does not increase the income of workers in the long run. His result is based on the nonlinearity of the saving functions. If the saving function of capitalists is concave (or convex), the maximum of workers' income is attained by the positive (or the negative) transfer. There exists a case where the after-tax income of capitalists increases by a positive transfer. The global maximum of capitalists' income is attained when workers' income is all transferred to capitalists, while the global maximum of workers' is attained when capitalists enjoy positive income. |
