Sammendrag
It is not straightforward to define the ethics of responsibility in
cases where the consequences of factors under our control are partly
affected by factors outside our control. One way to approach this
issue is to ask how an increase in one individual's effort should be
allowed to affect the post-tax income of others. In this paper we show
how different answers to this question can be used to characterize interesting redistributive mechanisms.
