Bunching and Non-Bunching at Kink Points of the Swedish Tax schedule
Bastani, Spencer; Selin, Håkan - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2011

Public Provision of Private Goods and Nondistortionary Marginal Tax Rates: Some Further Results
Christiansen, Vidar; Micheletto, Luca; Blomquist, Sören - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2009
