There is no significant difference between the visible expenditures of the upper-caste and the otherwise backward caste (OBC) Hindus. Lower-income households spend more on conspicuous consumption than their richer counterparts, regardless of caste and religion. Conspicuous spending is higher during festivals and periods of above-average household income, but lower in areas with higher visible inequality.

Using event methodology and individual-level call data, we examine domestic abuse patterns during the first nationwide COVID-19 lockdown in Greater London, and find that the lockdown changed both the nature of reporting and the type of relationship within which the abuse occurs. Abuse by current partners and family members increased on average by 8.5% and 16.4%, respectively, during the COVID-19 lockdown, while abuse by ex-partners declined by 9.4%. We address possible changes in domestic abuse reporting using information on the caller type and the timing of abuse. We show that the increase in domestic abuse calls is driven by third party reporting, which is 32% higher in high density areas where neighbours can overhear abuse, while no comparable changes occur in victim reporting. These findings highlight the importance of environmental factors, such as exposure, in affecting domestic abuse victimization across different types of relationships.</p>","PeriodicalId":48040,"journal":{"name":"Economica","volume":"93 369","pages":"361-374"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ecca.70019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145646666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We study attitudes towards tax simplification using new survey and experimental data. We first document that most respondents generally desire tax simplification. Using various survey techniques (including survey experiments and open-ended questions), we show that people are not fully aware of the objectives, implications and trade-offs involved in tax simplification. Overall, our findings suggest that people generally support tax simplification, but have preferences to keep certain complexity-adding elements of the tax system, particularly those that compensate for circumstances (rather than choices).

This paper analyses the causes of these cycles in a theoretical model. Two competitors compete in a repeated contest. They invest and build up a capital stock to increase their probability of winning each contest. Any positive or negative adjustment of the capital stock inherited from the previous contest leads to additional adjustment costs. Reducing the capital stock can be beneficial, as the upkeep costs of preserving the capital stock are reduced. The analysis reveals that the adjustment costs can create rigidity in the relative strength of the two competitors. This model can explain various phenomena observed in the real world, such as the emergence of peace dividends or dynasties in military conflicts, overinvestment by competitors in sports competitions, and rigidities within educational systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":48040,"journal":{"name":"Economica","volume":"93 369","pages":"260-297"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ecca.70017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145646748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using structural gravity to assess the relationship between EU adequacy decisions and digital trade, and applying different approaches to define digital trade, we find that adequacy increases bilateral digital trade between the EU and the adequate countries by 7–9% compared to non-digital trade.

Remote working changes where workers spend much of their time and the geographical location of demand, particularly for local personal services (LPS). Our main contribution is to systematically quantify this change for England and Wales using a new nationally representative survey of nearly 35,000 working-age adults, which captures (pre-pandemic) LPS spending while at work and permanent changes in remote working. On average, our work shows that neighbourhoods where people commute 20% less often experience a decline in LPS spending of 5%. There is a clear geographic pattern (the ‘donut’ effect) to these spending changes, but our granular analysis shows that they are uneven: large decreases in LPS demand are concentrated in a small number of city-centre neighbourhoods, while increases in LPS demand around the periphery are more dispersed. Further analysis of neighbourhoods by geographical and sociodemographic characteristics shows that the least affluent are most likely to benefit the least from remote work, increasing inequality.</p>","PeriodicalId":48040,"journal":{"name":"Economica","volume":"93 369","pages":"188-208"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ecca.70014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145646644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using industry-level data for European countries for the period 2000–2020, we show that intangible intensity positively affects between-firm wage inequality. When decomposing overall intangible capital into subcategories, we find that the effect is mainly driven by innovative property assets, such as R&amp;D, licences and designs. Robustness checks and an instrumental variables strategy provide further support to these results.
