课程名称：《经济增长与分配正义 第二部分 - 最大化社会福利》 课程概述：如果你关心21世纪经济和社会中的重大问题，例如分配正义（即收入或财富不平等及其与经济增长的关系），这门课程是为你量身定制的。该课程的知识将改变你对世界的看法。《经济增长与分配正义 - 最大化社会福利》是这个两部分课程的第二部分，包含以下五个讲座： 1. 税收的过度负担 2. 税收负担：谁承担税收的经济负担？ 3. 进步性：定义及实现方法 4. 低收入、低能力与最优所得税模型 5. 设计最大化社会福利的税收和转移系统 我们强烈建议你先修读第一部分课程：《经济增长与分配正义 - 国家角色》。两个部分结合将使你对经济增长与分配正义有更全面的理解。 本课程基于一个根本理念：国家的角色是最大化其居民的幸福。在9节引人入胜的课程中，课程以简单易懂的方式解析专业术语，阐述许多直观和非直观的真理。通过美国和欧洲的示例，课程内容并不局限于某个特定地区的政策，适用于全球所有国家。 课程探讨了效率与公平、不平等与贫困、国内生产总值、税收逃避与税收规划等重要概念，介绍了诺贝尔奖得主詹姆斯·米尔利斯及其追随者的研究，倡导整合税收与政府支出的系统，以最大化社会福利。课程还从经济角度揭示了一系列重要问题： - 气候变化：将大气和海洋视为公共财，引入智慧税收（皮戈税）应对日益加剧的威胁； - 技术作为经济增长的引擎； - 对富人的征税：如何缓解日益加剧的不平等问题？是否应对资本征收全球税？ 课程中还包括与法学和经济学领域的主要人物的访谈，如哈佛的埃尔哈南·赫尔普曼、纽约大学的丹·沙维罗以及芝加哥大学和纽约大学的理查德·艾普斯坦。 完成课程后，你将能： - 更好地理解媒体中呈现的经济问题 - 对提出的社会经济政策的优缺点形成知情看法 - 定义并测量不平等和贫困 - 理解不平等（收入、财富）与经济增长的联系 - 解释经济增长的基础 - 设计一个最大化个人幸福的税收和转移系统 这些将使你更好地理解周围正在制定的政策，并在作为有责任心的公民中，发挥更大、更有知情的作用。 要获得该课程的学分，必须成功通过校园内的学术考试。有关如何注册学术考试的信息，请访问：https://tauonline.tau.ac.il/registration 此外，你可以使用在课程中获得的成绩申请某些学位。欲了解更多信息，请点击：https://go.tau.ac.il/b.a/mooc-acceptance 希望有意教授此课程的教师可以通过我们的学术高中项目进行了解：https://tauonline.tau.ac.il/online-highschool 该课程为《经济增长与分配正义第一部分 - 国家角色》的直接延续，如果你尚未修读该部分课程，我们强烈建议你从那里开始学习：https://www.coursera.org/learn/economic-growth-part-1/home/welcome 请注意，此课程将于2022年3月1日至2022年8月31日暂时停止注册。在此期间，新学员无法注册，之前注册的学员仍可访问课程资料，但课程工作人员期间不提供讨论论坛支持。 祝好， 特拉维夫大学团队
Name:The Excess Burden of Taxation
Description:Dear students, The first half of the course is behind us, and there's one more half to go. We hope you are enjoying yourselves! In the previous class, we focused on the equity side of the equity-efficiency tradeoff, learning how to measure inequality and poverty. In this class, we will move on to talk about measuring efficiency. We will study the principles of SOCIAL EFFICIENCY, guided by the logic of trade, profitable transactions and the influence of TAXATION. Using everyday examples (have you ever babysitted?!), we will investigate the concept of EXCESS BURDEN, how and why taxes reduce social efficiency, and how this can be measured. So let's begin week 5! Best, Economic Growth and Distributive Justice team
Name:Tax Incidence: Who Bears the Economic Burden of a Tax?
Description:Dear students, This week we will learn how market forces determine who bears the economic burden of a tax. We will follow various classic examples and see how this happens - often in an unintuitive manner, which may be contrary to the legislator’s intention. Best, Economic Growth and Distributive Justice team
Name:Progressivity: Definition and Ways to Achieve
Description:Dear students, This week's lecture is all about progressivity. We will learn about the difference between MARGINAL and EFFECTIVE tax rates, how progressivity can be achieved, and how the transfer side of the system (e.g. welfare benefits) can create steep marginal tax rates, in addition to those generated by the tax side of the system. In the second part of the lesson we will begin studying the OPTIMAL INCOME TAX MODEL, in our search for the tax and transfer system that would maximize social wellbeing. Best, Economic Growth and Distributive Justice team
Name:Low Income, Low Ability and the Optimal Income Tax Model
Description:Dear students, This week's lecture will continue our discussion about progressivity. In this second part of the lesson we will begin studying the OPTIMAL INCOME TAX MODEL, in our search for the tax and transfer system that would maximize social wellbeing. Best, Economic Growth and Distributive Justice team
Name:Designing the Tax and Transfer System that Maximizes Social Wellbeing
Description:Dear students, Time goes by, as always, and here we are, in our last week of the course 'Economic Growth and Distributive Justice'. We hope that by now you have all acquired sufficient knowledge and understanding in the various issues taught by Prof. Margalioth, enabling you to better analyze the social-economic reality in which you live, and form your own educated views and preferences regarding these issues. The last week of the course will be devoted to the OPTIMAL MODEL OF THE TAX & TRANSFER SYSTEM. Combining all materials taught in the course and applying them together, Prof. Margalioth will present to you what he believes to be the best possible model, through which a government can achieve both Economic Growth and Distributive Justice. Will you agree to adopt it as well? Perhaps you have some other interesting ideas? We will be more than happy to discuss them. Thank you for taking our course. It was our pure delight to have you as our students! So let's begin week 8! Best, Economic Growth and Distributive Justice team
If you really care about the big questions in the economies and societies of the 21st century, such as distributive justice - namely, inequality of income or wealth, and its correlation with economic growth - this course is meant for you. The knowledge you will gain can truly change your outlook on our world. "Economic Growth and Distributive Justice - Maximizing Social Wellbeing" is the second part of a two part course and it includes the following five lectures: (1) The excess burden of taxation (2) Tax incidence: who bears the economic burden of tax? (3) Progressivity: definition and ways to achieve (4) Low Income, Low Ability and the Optimal Income Tax Model (5) Designing the Tax and Transfer System that Maximizes Social Wellbeing If you haven't done that already, we strongly recommend that you register for the first part of the course: "Economic Growth and Distributive Justice - the Role of the State". Taking both parts of the course would enable you to obtain a fuller and more comprehensive knowledge about Economic Growth and Distributed Justice. The course is founded upon the elemental idea that the role of the state is to maximize the well-being - or simply the happiness - of its residents. In 9 fascinating, edifying lessons, using only simple words and decoding professional terminologies that sometimes baffle the intelligent layman, the course expounds many truths – both intuitive and unintuitive. Often using examples from the US and Europe, it does not however focus on policies in any particular region of the world, and is directly applicable to all countries around the globe. The course touches upon the essence of important concepts like efficiency and equity, inequality and poverty, gross domestic product, tax evasion and tax planning; it presents the work of Nobel Laureate James Mirrlees and his followers - promoting a coherent system that integrates tax and government expenditures to maximize social welfare; and illuminates a range of high-profile issues from their economic angle: • Climate change: the atmosphere and oceans as public goods, and how smart (Pigovian) taxation can be used to combat the rapidly increasing threats to our planet; • Technology as the engine of economic growth; • Taxing the rich: How can we mitigate the growing inequality problem? Should we impose a global tax on capital? The curriculum includes interviews with major figures in the fields of law and of economics: Harvard's Elhanan Helpman, Dan Shaviro from NYU and Richard Epstein from the University of Chicago and NYU. After successfully completing this course, you can expect to be able to: • better understand economic issues presented in the media • form an informed opinion on the strengths and weaknesses of presented social economic policies • define and measure inequality and poverty • define the connection between inequality (income, wealth) and economic growth • explain the foundations of economic growth • design a tax and transfer system to maximize the happiness of individuals All these will allow you to better understand the policies being developed around you, and to play a larger, more informed role in their development, as a conscientious citizen. In order to receive academic credit for this course you must successfully pass the academic exam on campus.

This course will temporarily close for enrollment from March 1st, 2022 to August 31st, 2022. During this time, the course will be closed for new enrolments. All of the course materials will continue to be able available to previously enrolled learners; however, the course staff will not provide support in the Discussion Forums during this period.
