They may initiate an audit if consumption reports cannot be justified by self‐reported income. This in turn incentivizes tax evaders to avoid third‐party reported consumption goods. I determine the implications of this for the optimal tax structure. A tax on non‐reported goods discourages tax evasion because these goods are disproportionately consumed by tax evaders. A tax on reported goods also discourages tax evasion because it further distorts the evader's consumption bundle. I show that it is desirable to tax third‐party reported goods at a higher (lower) rate than non‐reported goods if the elasticity of substitution between both goods is smaller (larger) than one. I then apply the same logic to third‐party reported wealth – i.e., future consumption goods – which tax authorities also use in their audit policies. Existing evidence on the intertemporal elasticity of substitution suggests that it may be optimal to tax third‐party reported wealth at a positive rate.","PeriodicalId":47929,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142184188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The status motive behind charity, the stigma from receiving donations, and transaction costs all work to decrease the optimal marginal subsidies on redistributive charity. Because the existing empirical evidence of these effects (when available) is highly uncertain and context‐dependent, the range of possible outcomes is large, and even includes the possibility that charitable giving should be taxed rather than subsidized. In a natural benchmark case, the optimal tax treatment of charitable giving is consistent with a simple tax credit, whereas pure tax deductions are never part of the optimal policy.","PeriodicalId":47929,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141868495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a model of national emissions, I examine whether leadership improves global welfare. The results suggest that leadership reduces global emissions when the leader's abatement generates cost‐reducing spillover effects or conveys private information about abatement costs. With spillover effects, the leader abates more to incentivize a greater reduction of emissions by followers. Under private information, the leader abates more to signal the abatement cost. If it has to choose between transparency and no transparency, the leader commits to transparency despite this being inefficient. Besides, I find sequential abatement stable against unilateral deviation.","PeriodicalId":47929,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141785099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper provides a pricing method with a relative robustness guarantee by maximizing a performance index which amounts to a worst‐case ratio of the obtained payoff to the best possible payoff. Assuming monotonicity and complementarity of demand in price and the unknown demand parameter, the performance index is fully determined by its behavior at the boundary of the parameter space. This allows for an efficient computation of an optimal robust price. In the linear case, which can also be used for nonlinear demand with bounded slope, the method provides a simple closed‐form solution. A comparison with the standard worst‐case payoff criterion reveals substantial improvements in both absolute and relative performance, at only a small cost relative to the maximized expected profit.","PeriodicalId":47929,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141060142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Households optimize a portfolio containing three types of assets: risk‐free, diversifiable risky, and private investment with idiosyncratic risk and heterogeneous expected returns. We define normal capital income as the risk‐free rate times the size of the portfolio, and excess returns as any deviations from it. In this setting, taxing excess returns is ineffective for redistribution due to a Domar–Musgrave effect and only generates revenue, to be balanced against the cost of revenue uncertainty. Taxing normal returns does serve redistribution, as they reveal information about the investors' types beyond what the earnings tax base reveals.","PeriodicalId":47929,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141060143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using rich administrative data from Denmark and a semi‐structural dynamic approach, we analyze different policies targeted towards young people who leave grade 9 with a grade point average in the bottom quintile. We find that preparatory courses, offered to students who are unable to commence a qualifying degree, have no positive impact on future labor market outcomes. Further, unobserved heterogeneity is more important for this group than are cognitive skills.
