Tax Cuts in Open Economies
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Elsevier via the DOI in this recordA reduction in capital tax rates generates substantial dynamic responses within the framework of the standard neoclassical growth model. The short-run revenue loss after a tax cut is partly --- or, depending on parameter values, even completely --- offset by growth in the long-run, due to the resulting incentives to further accumulate capital. We study how the dynamic response of government revenue to a tax cut changes if we allow a Ramsey economy to engage in international trade: the open economy's ability to reallocate resources between labor-intensive and capital-intensive industries reduces the negative effect of factor accumulation on factor returns, thus encouraging the economy to accumulate more than it would do under autarky. We explore the quantitative implications of this intuition for the US in terms of two issues recently treated in the literature: dynamic scoring and the Laffer curve. Our results demonstrate that international trade enhances the response of government revenue to tax cuts by a relevant amount. In our benchmark calibration, a reduction in the capital-income tax rate has virtually no effect on government revenues in steady state.CICYTMIUR, Università Boccon
September 11: Economic Viewpoints
No full textEdward J. Deak is a contributing author, The Economics of Insurance Coverage Post 9/11 .
Book Description: In addition to the loss, grief and geopolitical changes resulting from the events of Sept. 11, 2001, it soon became clear the world would have to deal with another, subtler impact - an economic one. Virtually every part of the U.S. - and world - economy reacted to Sept. 11 and its aftermath. Economics is uniquely qualified to analyze these types of effects, both those making headlines as well as the more indirect adjustments that few outside the profession would notice. This collection of essays - each written by a South-Western economics author highly regarded for both academic and professional achievements - offers a variety of perspectives on the economic effects of these events. Topics include gas prices, environmental issues, insurance, transportation, public policy, globalization, trade policies toward Pakistan and many others. No one can adequately explain the events of the day, but this insightful book offers valuable understanding of the subsequent economic impacts - and potential trends. – Publisher descriptio

Dugo, nepravedno, zaboravljeno i zapostavljeno čekalo je da ponovo nađe svoj put do čitalačke publike, da živom rečju i ličnim svedočanstvom dočara sve one strahote kroz koje je sam autor sa svojom porodicom prošao u godinama okupacije 1941-44. godine. Izdanje koje se pred čitaocima našlo danas posvećeno je 80-to godišnjici krvave tragedije - Racije u južnoj Bačkoj. Događaj koji će nesumnjivo udariti trajan pečat u životima desetina hiljada žitelja Bačke, događaj koje je ugasio na hiljade života onih čija je jedina krivica bila što su bili drugačije vere, nacije i ličnih uverenja. I sam autor sa svojom porodicom prošao je Golgotu Racije i samo pukim slučajem sačuvao je život. Tragedija i iskustvo koje će trajno biti utisnuto u njegovu svest i koje će oblikovati sećanja preneta u ovu knjigu…”"After 70 years, the testimony of Dr Andrej Deak titled "Under the Yellow Tape" was again in front of the readers. It has been waiting for a long, unfair, forgotten and neglected time to find its way to the readership again, to convey with living words and personal testimony all the horrors that the author and his family went through during the years of occupation in 1941-44. This edition is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the bloody tragedy - the Raid in southern Bačka. It will undoubtedly leave a lasting mark on the lives of tens of thousands of residents of Bačka, an event that extinguished thousands of lives of those whose only fault was that they were of a different religion, nation and personal beliefs. The author and his family went through the Golgotha. A tragedy and an experience that will forever be in his consciousness and that will shape the memories conveyed in this book..."Publikacija je štampana u okviru projekta „Zastave naših očeva“ koje je finansijski podržalo Ministarstvo za rad, zapošljavanje, boračka i socijalna pitanja - Sektor za boračko-invalidsku zaštitu (the publication was printed as part of the "Flags of our Fathers" project, which was financially supported by the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veterans and Social Affairs - Sector for Veterans and Disability Protection)

Walking: a transportation mode for Sao Paulo city
No full textO objetivo do trabalho é apresentar como o modo de transporte mais exercido na Cidade de São Paulo o Modo de Transporte a Pé - é tratado de forma inadequada pelos responsáveis por administrar e planejar a cidade, apesar de ser a saída mais utilizada pela população nas atuais condições de esgotamento dos sistemas que geram quedas nas taxas de mobilidade. É demonstrar que uma visão restrita sobre a caminhada faz com que a cidade perca qualidade de vida e comprometa suas condições ambientais, tornando ainda mais arriscado e inóspito o dia a dia da população em plena Era da Agenda 21 e do Protocolo de Kyoto. Como estudo de caso são demonstrados exemplos encontrados na Cidade de São Paulo tanto nas áreas mais centrais como nas periferias, comprovando não haver ainda consciência do poder público e da sociedade em geral sobre quão importante é a garantia e o zelo dedicados a infraestrutura urbana onde ocorre acaminhada.The objective of the work is to present how the most utilized mode of transportation in the city of São Paulo Walking is treated in an inadequate way by the ones responsible for administering and planning the city, in addition to representing the populations mostly used alternative when the drops in mobility levels occur as a result of the poor conditions of the existing systems. It is intended to demonstrate that a restricted vision about walking makes the city lose quality of life and compromises its environmental conditions, making the daily routines of the population become even more risky and inhospitable in a full Era of Agenda 21 and the Kyoto Protocol. As a case study, examples found in two areas of the city of São Paulo - central and suburban - proving that the public power and the society in general are still not conscious about how important it is to guarantee and care for the urban infrastructure where the walking occurs
