• The Promise of Positive Optimal Taxation (2014, unknown): “Here, I use a lognormal-Pareto calibration of the U.S. wage distribution originally calculated by Mankiw, Weinzierl, and Yagan (2009). far more uniform utility distribution than either of the more pure objective functions.”
• Millionaire Migration and Taxation of the Elite (2016, background): “Incorporating this estimate into optimal tax rate models (Mankiw et al. 2009; Piketty and Saez 2013) suggests that the revenue-maximizing top marginal tax rate on income above $1 million is much higher than the current tax rate in any state.”
• Optimal Dynamic Carbon Taxes in a Climate–Economy Model with Distortionary Fiscal Policy (2019, background): “In reality, most countries do impose capital income taxes (Piketty and Saez, 2012; Mankiw, Weinzierl, and Yagan, 2009.).”
