Abstract
[Introduction] Commencing with Harberger's [1962] classic paper, a number of studies have analyzed the incidence of taxation in the context of a deterministic, two-sector, two-factor general equilibrium model. Recently, R. N. Batra [1975] and R. A. Ratti and P. Shome [1977a, 1977b] have reexamined the robustness of these deterministic results for the case in which production uncertainty is incorporated into the model. By using "entrepreneurial" models in which the firm is assumed to maximize the expected utility of profits, they find that the incidence of taxes depends on the preferences and probability assessments of the entrepreneur, and in general, the deterministic results no longer obtain.
