Microsimulation of indirect taxes
No full textThe goal of this paper is to simulate a tax shift from labour to consumption and perform a distributional analysis of the reform. Microsimulation programs are often uniquely focussed on the personal income tax system and on social security contributions and benefits. However, against a political background where income taxes are under increased pressure and alternative, less distortive forms of taxation come under consideration, microsimulation models enriched with expenditure data and consumption tax structures could play an important role in sharpening the (distributional) picture of such systemic changes. The current paper discusses an algorithm for this enrichment - mainly with VAT, excises and other consumption taxes - within the context of the EUROMOD-framework and applies the obtained program to the simulation of a decrease of social security contributions compensated by a rise in standard VAT rate to maintain government budget neutrality for four EU countries. The measure is found to have a (first order) regressive effect, pointing to the fact that keeping redistribution constant would require the remaining post-reform income taxation to become more progressive.

Empirical proton-neutron interactions near closed shells - A simple shell-model approach
No full textWe point out that the proton-neutron residual interaction is able to account for the recently observed properties in the empirical interaction energies between the last odd proton and neutron in nuclei adjacent to closed shells. Using zero-range forces, the specific difference between the average particle-particle and particle-hole interaction matrix elements is the major factor. We extend the arguments to cover also nuclei with two valence proton and two valence neutron configurations outside of a closed shell (we treat both two-particle two-particle, two-hole two-hole, and two-particle two-hole situations). Here we derive the particular binding energy contribution due to the proton-neutron interaction and give applications to heavy nuclei

30 Years at Maine Times piece on the success story of Austin J. Jack DeCos
No full text30 Years at Maine Times piece on the success story of Austin J. Jack DeCoster, who inherited 100 hens and parlayed them into one of the world\u27s largest egg farms. A look at Decosta\u27s autocratic management, with its fundamentalist Christian overtones. Although DeCoster Egg Farms could be called a factory, which produced eggs, DeCoster avoided many regulations, such as minimum wage and child labor laws, by being classed as an agricultural rather than a commercial enterprise
