Although both levels of government are interested in both the utility level of the present generation and the growth rate that can be attained by accumulating human capital through education, they place different weight on the value of these objectives. We first show that the federal government can replicate the equilibrium outcome that can be achieved under a unitary nation by implementing fiscal transfer between the different levels of government. Second, if the federal government places a large weight on the growth rate, or has a more long-run perspective than the state government, the federal tax rate becomes positive.

First, we conceptualize through game theory a better risk management between the public and private sectors in case of co-investment. Second, building on Iossa and Martimort (2009), we demonstrate that PPPs investments produce greater economic and social gains than pure public investments by providing incentives and transferring risks to the private sector. The implications of the model are diverse: financing the provision of public infrastructure through PPPs allows for sharing the associated risks, improves the quality and reduce the costs of the provision of public goods.

The empirical analysis considers the news on antitrust investigations published in the top Italian newspapers by circulation. The data reveal that the newspapers favor the conclusion (against the start) of proceedings, antitrust cases regarding immaterial services and investigations that establish a violation of antitrust law. In addition, the probability of media coverage increases if foreign firms are involved in cartel proceedings. While the press equally covers cartels and abuses, the imposition of unfair conditions is the most mentioned antitrust offense. These results are important for the public dimension of antitrust law and antitrust enforcement. An unbiased media coverage of antitrust enforcement can in fact foster the crucial collaboration of third parties in reporting alleged antitrust infringements. In addition, policymakers can draw crucial information from completed antitrust investigations and consider the possible regulation, deregulation or re-regulation of industries and companies frequently involved in the antitrust cases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46094,"journal":{"name":"Research in Economics","volume":"77 3","pages":"Pages 334-348"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42369719","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}

This study examines how inflation targeting (IT) relates to environmental pollution in samples of 22 Developed Market Economies (DMEs) and 25 Emerging Market Economies (EMEs) over the period 1980–2017. Using a parametric approach (two-step system-generalized method of moments), we find that IT significantly reduces emissions of polluting gases, specifically carbon dioxide (CO</span><sub>2</sub>), nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O), methane (CH<sub>4</sub><span>), and total greenhouse gases (GHG) in DMEs and EMEs. In order to take into account, the existence of a potential self-selection bias in the adoption of IT, we subsequently resorted to a non-parametric approach, namely propensity score matching<span>. The results confirm those obtained in the parametric approach. Then, using structural equation modeling, we find that IT reduces environmental pollution mainly through the financial instability channel. In addition, based on the insights from the recent literature, we test the moderating role of financial development and financial stability. The results indicate that these variables reduce the “green effect” of IT. Ultimately, our findings provide an interesting empirical basis for policymakers to help them build a sound macroeconomic and financial framework that promotes more environmentally friendly financial behaviors.</span></span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":46094,"journal":{"name":"Research in Economics","volume":"77 3","pages":"Pages 427-452"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42300664","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}
