We show how to construct a time-consistent open-loop policy rule. We also consider an additional restriction under which the time-consistent open-loop policy is stationary. We use examples to illustrate the properties of these tax rules.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/6275}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.6275}, }
