Geys, Benny; Konrad, Kai A.; Qari, Salmai - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2009

Good Jobs, Bad Jobs and Redistribution
Lommerud, Kjell Erik; Sandvik, B.; Straume, Odd Rune - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2003

Tax Rates and Tax Evasion: Evidence from 'Missing Imports' in China
Fisman, Raymond; Wei, Shang-Jin - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001
Tax evasion, by its very nature, is difficult to observe. In this Paper, we present a case study of tax evasion in … evasion relatively precisely, by comparing the values that China reports as imports from Hong Kong, with what Hong Kong … reports as exports to China.
