Shifting on prices of per unit and ad valorem consumption taxes

Carbonnier, Clément - HAL - 2011

Economic theory states that on market with imperfect competition, per unit consumption taxes should induce a larger increase of prices than ad valorem consumption taxes.

Compensating the dead? Yes we can!

Fleurbaey, Marc; Leroux, Marie-Louise; Ponthière, Grégory - HAL - 2010

An early death is, undoubtedly, a serious disadvantage. However, the compensation of short-lived individuals has remained so far largely unexplored, probably because it appears infeasible. Indeed, short-lived agents can hardly be identified ex ante, and cannot be compensated ex post. We argue...
