The longstanding decline in fertility rates has been widely discussed in relation to factors such as increasing human capital, women’s employment, and rising housing costs, leading couples to postpone or forego childbearing decisions. However, less attention has been paid to how tax policies that influence disposable income and economic planning horizons could indirectly affect fertility choices. While taxation is crucial for funding social security systems, policies that reduce household resources without considering demographic impacts may have unintended consequences on population dynamics. Using a time-series of country-year from the World Bank, we exploit South Korea’s major mid-1970s tax reforms as a natural experiment to test the hypothesis that higher tax burdens also contributed to reducing fertility over the subsequent decades. The results suggest considerable negative effect of the mid-1970s tax reforms on fertility in South Korea. This macro-analysis shows tax policies can influence population dynamics, but lacks insight into how tax changes affected childbearing decisions at the household level. Future micro-level studies could reveal mechanisms linking tax policies and fertility behavior. Still, this study highlights potential demographic impacts of taxation policies. Policymakers should consider such consequences when modifying tax systems, especially policies related to family resources and child affordability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46094,"journal":{"name":"Research in Economics","volume":"79 2","pages":"Article 101025"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143135590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intuition for the result is that increased product market competition following an increase in the number of firms is mirrored by increased labour market rivalry which induces (profit-enhancing) wage moderation, a result which does not occur if unions can coordinate their wage demands under centralised bargaining. Whether the product or labour market effect dominates depends on the nature of union preferences, with a higher preference for wages making profit-raising entry more likely. We analyse how our results are sensitive to the curvature of the demand function, and the extent to which structural advantages due to incumbency enhance the benefits of entry. We also consider: (i) the impact of entry on a measure of social welfare comprising union utility, consumer surplus and firms’ profits, and (ii) a setting in which unionisation is determined endogenously through the decision of firms on whether or not to recognise unions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46094,"journal":{"name":"Research in Economics","volume":"79 1","pages":"Article 101014"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143103974","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 research gap inspired the study to examine how environmental conditions react to the accumulation of international reserves and to explore the potential existence of an inverted U-shaped relationship between 1993 and 2020. The empirical findings using Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR) indicate an inverted U-shaped relationship between international reserves and environmental degradation in the BRICS countries. Initially, reserve accumulation is harmful to the environment, suggesting a prioritization of reserve accumulation over environmental sustainability. However, once a certain level is reached, reserves start to help protect the environment. Additional findings reveal that nonrenewable energy consumption, GDP, and population negatively affect the environment, whereas exports have a positive influence. The impact of FDI, however, is inconsistent and frequently lacks significance over time.

Central to our research is the application of a higher-order spatial model, which enables us to examine correlations of FDI across various hosts along both geographical and cultural dimensions. We find that US FDI across culturally similar host nations move together. Specifically, our results show that US FDI in a host may rise by 0.25% with every 1% increase in US FDI in other hosts that are culturally similar to the host of interest. Such results are robust to a battery of sensitivity checks, such as controlling for spatial correlation of geographically proximate hosts.
