  • This paper investigates a real business cycle model with endogenous capital
    income and labour income taxes under the incomplete competitive markets.
    Our model is able to duplicate the feature of the stylized facts of business
    cycles in Korea. Under the incomplete competitive markets, a positive
    productivity shock increases income and then expands government expenditure
    more than consumption, and then requires the increases of government bond
    supply. However, the tax rates of both labour and capital incomes decrease
    temporarily because the supplies of government bonds have more flexibility
    than tax rates to finance the government expenditure.
