Abstract
[Abstract]: The government temporal horizon is shown to be a key determinant of the optimal tax
structure in an endogenous growth model of the US economy. As the temporal horizon
lengthens, wage taxation is gradually substituted by consumption taxation. The optimal tax
mix depends notably on the leisure specification.
