The aim of this question is to derive the sufficient statiscs formula for the efficiency cost of a tax. Broadly, the aim of sufficient statistics in public economics is to express the welfare effects of a policy as a function of parameters, we can estimate using quasi-experimental est imation methods. Take the same statist general equilibrium model that we discussed in class to measure the excess burden of a tax using sufficient statistics. (a) Derive the first-order conditions of the individual maximization problem. (b) Derive the first-order conditions of the firm optimization problem. (c) Derive the sufficient statistic for the efficiency cost of tax changes using the first-order
