Optimal Taxation in the Automation Era

This paper utilizes a general equilibrium model calibrated to the U.S. economy to demonstrate that in an automation-driven era, optimal social welfare is best achieved by implementing a zero robot tax and relying primarily on consumption taxation to redistribute revenue to displaced unskilled workers, as capital income and robot taxes create investment distortions that outweigh their redistributive benefits.
