Abstract: The authors introduce imperfect labor mobility into the corporate tax incidence analysis and demonstrate that for smaller values of the elasticity of labor mobility parameter the corporate income tax could reduce the relative income of corporate labor even when the taxed sector was capital intensive. Specifically, they identify a range of values of the elasticity of labor mobility parameter for which the well-known Harberger result could be overturned.
