N2 - This paper investigates the redistributive effects of taxation on occupa-tional choice and growth. We discuss a two–sector economy in the spiritof Romer (1990). Agents engage in one of two alternative occupations:either self–employment in an intermediate goods sector characterized bymonopolistic competition, or employment as an ordinary worker in thissector. Entrepreneurial profits are stochastic. The occupational choice un-der risk endogenizes the number of firms in the intermediate goods indus-try. While the presence of entrepreneurial risk results in a suboptimallylow number of firms and depresses growth, non–linear tax schemes arepartly capable of compensating the negative by effects by ex post provid-ing a social insurance.
