Previous literature has shown that rent taxation benefits current young and future generations, while we show that it also benefits the current old generation when the initially prevailing tax mix is sufficiently skewed towards wage taxation.}, keywords={capitalization;transitional dynamics;labor supply;asset prices;rent taxes}, }
