In particular conditions for "regularity" and connectedness of this set are exhibited. Consequences obtain both for the positive theory of tax incidence in general equilibrium (existence, continuity, uniqueness) and for normative theory ("regularity" of optimal solutions, algorithms of tax reform...).
