When combined with the logical notion of partially interpreted functions, many nonparametric results in econometrics and statistics can be understood as statements about semi-algebraic sets. Tarski's quantifier elimination (QE) theorem therefore guarantees that a universal algorithm exists for...

This paper develops and estimates a model of firm-level fixed capital investment when firms face borrowing constraints. Dynamically optimal investment functions are derived for the firms with and without financial constraints. These policy functions are then used to construct the likelihood of...

In this article, is analysed relationship between GDP and investments and proven on the basis of econometric models. Model of GDP determination is built on the basis of Solow model with the help of Cobb-Douglas production function. Econometric models for calculating the effectiveness of...

"This paper analyzes the impact on firm behavior of the Homeland Investment Act of 2004, which provided a one-time tax holiday for the repatriation of foreign earnings by U.S. multinationals. The analysis controls for endogeneity and omitted variable bias by using instruments that identify the...

Zum 1.1.2008 führte die Bundesregierung die begünstigte Besteuerung thesaurierter Gewinne für Einzelunternehmen und Personengesellschaften in Deutschland ein. Eine ähnliche Regelung existiert bereits seit 2004 in Österreich. Dieser Beitrag vergleicht die Investitionswirkungen der beiden...

The Homeland Investment Act provided a tax holiday for the repatriation of foreign earnings. Advocates argued the Act would alleviate financial constraints by reducing the cost to U.S. multinationals of accessing internal capital. This paper shows that repatriations did not increase domestic...
