This paper investigates the response of major macroeconomic variables to four different types of tax policy innovations in
Canada within a VAR framework. The positive tax multipliers documented in the previous literature are found only for corporate
tax innovations. Our results indicate that different taxes affect output differently, and imply that the composition of total
taxes may be a major factor behind cross-country variation in the sign and magnitude of total tax multipliers.

This study examines the impact of a stamp tax rate increase on market behavior, using data from two stock exchanges in China. We find that when the tax rate increases from 0.3 to 0.5% (which implies that the transaction cost increases by about 1/3) trading volume decreases by 1/3. This implies an elasticity of turnover with respect to a stamp tax of −50% and an elasticity of turnover with respect to transaction cost of −100%. The markets’ volatility significantly increases after the increase in the tax rate. Furthermore, the change in the volatility structure indicates that the markets become less efficient in the sense that shocks are less quickly assimilated in the markets.

Besley’s treatment of principled agents is a major contribution to public choice and political economy. By focusing on politics
as an agency problem, he has shown the way to a new generation of research on the interface of politics and economics.

It is well-known that endogenous cycles can occur in Ramsey models with heterogeneous households and borrowing constraints.
In this note, we address the issue of robustness in the more general case of endogenous labor supply and we explain the occurrence
of local indeterminacy under progressive taxation.

We explore the short-run dynamics and long-run relationship between income and financial development in Algeria, Egypt, and
Morocco. We use co-integration and VECM models and four indicators of financial development. The empirical results indicate
that there is a long-run relationship between income and each financial development indicator, except credit to the private
sector in Algeria. On the other hand, Granger-causality test results indicate that the evidence on the direction of causality
is mixed.

In this article, using the data of 2008, we try to describe the impact of scale and product differentiation in 282 European
banks. While evidence of the economies of scale is less clear, the results obtained using a translogarithmic function system
show that significant economies of scope do exist even for new banking products like derivatives.

Firm survival: methods and evidence 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper surveys the Industrial Organization literature on firm survival. We find that, in retrospect, the econometric specifications
used in this area have progressively become more sophisticated, addressing issues such as discrete time, unobserved heterogeneity
and competing risks. We also identify a number of firm- and industry-specific covariates that provide largely consistent results
across samples, countries and periods. On the other hand, the evidence is less clear-cut with regard to ownership and spatial
factors.

How large is liquidity risk in an automated auction market? 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We introduce a new empirical methodology that models liquidity risk over short time periods for impatient traders who submit market orders. Using Value-at-Risk type measures, we quantify the liquidity risk premia for portfolios and individual stocks traded on the automated auction market Xetra. The specificity of our approach relies on the adequate econometric modelling of the potential price impact incurred by the liquidation of a portfolio. We study the sensitivity of liquidity risk towards portfolio size and traders' time horizon, and interpret its diurnal variation in the light of market microstructure theory.

We document the patterns of market-wide and firm-specific volatility in the Portuguese stock market over the 1991–2005 period
and test several explanations for the behavior of firm-level idiosyncratic volatility. Unlike previous studies we find no
evidence of a statistically significant rise in firm-specific volatility. On the contrary, the ratio of firm-specific risk
to total risk slightly decreases. We show that this result stems from new listings of large privatized companies that display
lower firm-specific risk. Our findings are consistent with the idea that changes in idiosyncratic volatility are related to
changes in the composition of the market.

The specification of the linear long-run relationship among money, income and the opportunity cost of holding money has been
a popular study in economic literature. In the specific case of Greece, numerous articles investigated this relationship using
quarterly data, mainly of the period after 1960. The objective of this article is to investigate the same long-run relationship
using annual data and covering the historical period between 1858 and 1938. The results of the used cointegration analysis
are presented along with the findings of other authors who covered the post war era of the Greek Economy.

Assessment of inequality measurement is the focus for this survey. All measures of inequality must be evaluated based on a
set of desirable properties. More importantly, the usefulness of statistical inference for measures of inequality needs examination.

This paper proposes a discrete bidding model for both quantities and pricing. It has a two-unit demand environment where subjects
bid for contracts with an unknown redemption value, common to all bidders. Prior to bidding, the bidders receive private signals
of information on the (common) value. The relevant task is to compare the equilibrium strategies and the seller’s revenue
of the three most common auction formats with two players. The result is that the Vickrey auction always gives the most revenue
to the seller, the discriminatory auction follows closely and the uniform auction clearly is the worst due to demand reduction.

The Austrian School has had a curious destiny: while contributing many concepts to contemporary economic theory, it is either
ignored or criticised by much of modern economic literature. This article discusses possible reasons for this institutional
sidelining and the main futures of a renewal of Austrian thought.

Saving government failure theory from itself: recasting political economy from an Austrian perspective 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Peter J. Boettke Christopher J. Coyne Peter T. Leeson 《Constitutional Political Economy》2007,18(2):127-143
The economic approach to politics revolutionized the way scholars in economics and political science approached the study
of political decision-making by introducing the possibility of government failure. However, the persistent and consistent
application of neoclassical models of economics also seemed to suggest that once the full costs were accounted for, this failure
was an illusion. This paper counters these arguments, typically associated with George Stigler, Gary Becker and Donald Wittman,
by focusing on the underlying economic theory. We develop an alternative model of political economy grounded in the Austrian
conception of the dynamic market process.

Monthly seasonally unadjusted data can exhibit roots with possibly fractional orders of integration, corresponding to the
monthly but also to the quarterly and to the long-run or trending components of the series. In this paper we use a procedure
which is suitable to test simultaneously for the order of integration of each of these components and apply it to several
US monetary aggregates.

Using official statistics and tax laws, we outline and discuss the evolution of the personal income tax in Austria since the
beginning of the Second Republic in 1955. Focusing on the tax tariff and its progressivity properties, we identify a period
of high (and increasing) progressivity before 1989, followed by a period of diminished progressivity since 1989. While still
being a powerful revenue instrument, the Austrian income tax seems to have lost both redistributive impact and political allure.

Order aggressiveness and order book dynamics 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In this paper, we study the determinants of order aggressiveness and traders’ order submission strategy in an open limit order book market. Applying an order classification scheme, we model the most aggressive market orders, limit orders as well as cancellations on both sides of the market employing a six-dimensional autoregressive conditional intensity model. Using order book data from the Australian Stock Exchange, we find that market depth, the queued volume, the bid-ask spread, recent volatility, as well as recent changes in both the order flow and the price play an important role in explaining the determinants of order aggressiveness. Overall, our empirical results broadly confirm theoretical predictions on limit order book trading. However, we also find evidence for behavior that can be attributed to particular liquidity and volatility effects.

While entrepreneurs benefit from unrestricted free entry into markets, they have a time-inconsistent incentive to lobby for
government entry restrictions once they become successful. Bad political institutions yield to these demands, and growing
barriers are placed on domestic and international competition. Good institutions do not, and this effort is instead channeled
toward further wealth creation. We find that productive entrepreneurship depends on both the freedom to succeed and discipline
of failure that free markets provide. Trade barriers result in fewer combinations of goods and inputs attempted, and less
productive entrepreneurial resource use. We also provide evidence on the value of business failure.

This paper is organized as follows: first, we show that the reference to the notion of group selection is coherent with the
other parts of Hayek’s thought. Second, we develop the idea that recent works in terms of the emergence and evolution of social
norms corroborate in part Hayek’s theses in this domain. Finally, we put to the fore some drawbacks in Hayek’s approach and
propose means to solve them.

Individual versus group behavior and the role of the decision making procedure in gift-exchange experiments 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We test for behavioral differences between groups and individuals in gift-exchange experiments. Related studies in economics
establish group behavior as often closer to the standard game-theoretic equilibrium under the assumptions of rationality and
selfishness. We show that this result may depend crucially on the decision making procedure within groups and the nature of
the task. A novel experimental decision making protocol opens the black box of group decision making and allows tracking important
features of the group interaction process. We are also able to show that acting in a group may shift initial individual choices.
