Dudek","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1185577","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1185577","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper we extend the dimensionality of the standard income taxation problem. Specifically, we allow agents to purchase at a price, from the government, discounts on their marginal tax rates. Consequently agents have two decision variables: the level of income they choose to earn and the magnitude of discount they want to purchase at a given price. By rationally choosing to purchase discounts agents face lower effective marginal tax rates, which enhances efficiency. At the same time agents pay a price for the discounts, which can compensate for a shortfall in revenue resulting from lower e?ective marginal tax rates. We show, in the case of the CRRA utility function, that for any tax function it is always possible to construct the corresponding discount price function that leads to a strict Pareto improvement through trade in discounts and that ensures that revenue collected is unaffected when trade in discounts is permitted. In addition, we show that a fat tax or a piece-wise linear tax function are never optimal in the Mirrlees's sense. Similarly, we argue that trade in discounts can lead to a Pareto improvement over the allocation induced by any tax function, including Mirrlees's solutions, that has an existing inverse and is differentiable. We also show that the standard asymptotic result of zero marginal tax rate at the top of income distribution can be extended to an open set. It is shown in the dynamic context that no tax function can be optimal unless it is conditioned on the entire income history.","PeriodicalId":413544,"journal":{"name":"Public Choice (Topic)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130064913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Local Broadcasting in Extremis 极端情况下的地方广播

In their view, the public interest is served by such programming and not by other fare that is more popular with viewers. The bill would also make broadcast license renewals conditioned on a showing of, among other things, a dedication to local news gathering [and] local production of programming. In actuality HR 4882 threatens to choke off the resources available for local broadcast service in medium and larger markets. By requiring broadcasters to ignore market demands and instead carry programming to meet political demands, HR 4882 would enervate local broadcasters and undermine the very thing it purports to promote - local broadcast service. The goal of re-energizing and revitalizing local commercial broadcast service, if it ever is to be realized, will come only when Congress removes the shackles that bind broadcasters' ability to respond to new competitive pressures.","PeriodicalId":413544,"journal":{"name":"Public Choice (Topic)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129914917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whose Airwaves are They Anyway? 它们到底是谁的电波?

In the context of broadcasting, representatives Anna Eshoo (D-CA 14th) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI 2nd) are the latest to transgress, offering this year their \"Broadcast Licensing in the Public Interest Act\" (HR 4882). Congressional critics of broadcasting often begin their attacks by asserting that the airways belong to the public. The Eshoo/Baldwin bill is no exception. But one must ask why these selfsame critics deem themselves better qualified to determine how \"the public\" would like its airwaves used than are broadcasters whose livelihoods depend on their ability to deliver content with broad appeal. Broadcast licensees, after all, compete with an increasingly diverse variety of other media for a share of a highly fragmented market. As such they have an economic imperative to deliver that programming which will most interest \"the public.\" Broadcasters no more need the government to tell them what that programming is than Macy's needs bureaucratic direction on the styles of women's shoes to sell. Divining what the public wants carried on its airwaves is therefore no more difficult than switching on your television. If broadcasters really are to serve the public, they cannot be held hostage to the individual programming tastes of any one person or group of people - even if that group is known as Congress.","PeriodicalId":413544,"journal":{"name":"Public Choice (Topic)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127330606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper explores these contributions mainly in the context of the upgrading strategies that Caribbean countries have pursued over the past 15 years or so and using the lens of the tourism value chain and tourism cluster approach. The paper also analyzes the potential roles that public-private partnerships and public policy will continue to play in the future especially in the process of building linkages between the tourism sector and other sectors in order to increase net benefits from tourism to the Region. This paper is divided into five sections. In Section I, we define public-private partnerships (PPP) and describe the areas in tourism where PPP are most widely used, the tools used to implement PPP in tourism and the various forms of PPP. Economic arguments are then laid to motivate PPP as a determinant of tourism competitiveness using the tourism value-chain and tourism cluster approach. Specific case examples illustrating the contributions of PPP and public policy towards increasing tourism competitiveness are provided at a regional level and for specific areas in Sections II and III respectively. Section IV summarizes findings from the previous two sections and discusses ways to enhance the effectiveness of PPP and public policy in Caribbean tourism for increased competitiveness. Section V analyzes a few of the challenges that the Caribbean tourism sector is facing. The final section proposes new areas of intervention for PPP and public policy as tools for enhancing competitiveness in the Caribbean tourism sector in order to assist the region in addressing these challenges.","PeriodicalId":413544,"journal":{"name":"Public Choice (Topic)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133690139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
