American and foreign businesses, politicians, and media have all pointed to post-9/11 changes in visa policies as being responsible for the sharp decline in travel to the United States following the attacks. Using an empirical model which distinguishes the impact of visa policy from economic and country-specific factors, we find that changes in visa policy were not important contributors to the decrease in travel to the United States. Rather, the reduction in entries was largest among travelers who were not required to obtain a visa. 相似文献

An old person typically has a mixed attitude toward the welfare-state benefits, when they are financed by capital taxes, because
her income derives mostly from capital. We develop a majority-voting model which focuses on the effect of aging on this dilemma.
Surprisingly, the theory predicts that tax rates on capital income could actually rise as the population ages, even though
older individuals would be expected to own more capital than the young and thus vote against higher taxes. We then confront
the key prediction of the model with panel data for ten European Union countries, over the period 1970–1996. We investigate
the asymmetric effect of aging on the taxation of capital and labor. The implications of the model are shown to be consistent
with panel data. JEL no. H0, H5, P1 相似文献

Political instability and economic growth 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
Alberto Alesina Sule Özler Nouriel Roubini Phillip Swagel 《Journal of Economic Growth》1996,1(2):189-211
This paper investigates the relationship between political instability and per capita GDP growth in a sample of 113 countries for the period 1950 through 1982. We define political instability as the propensity of a government collapse, and we estimate a model in which such a measure of political instability and economic growth are jointly determined. The main result of this paper is that in countries and time periods with a high propensity of government collapse, growth is significantly lower than otherwise. We also discuss the effects of different types of government changes on growth. 相似文献

This article examines the effect of unionization on welfare and trade policy using a model of duopolists competing in a third market. The traditional result that the presence of a union necessitates a stronger strategic trade policy to reach the optimal level of welfare hinges on the mode of competition. With Bertrand duopolists, a union can be welfare-improving; it can also lead to a weaker trade policy, or even reverse the direction of the optimal policy. Our results highlight the importance for trade policy of understanding the nature of firm behavior and the institutional features of the labor market. 相似文献
