We develop a conceptual framework which captures the effect of the VAT system on profit by two effective taxes. This … taxable income to an indirect tax setting. We bring the theory to the data, using linked administrative VAT and corporation … tax records in the UK from 2004-2009.

Convenient Flight Connections vs. Airport Congestion - Modeling the 'Rolling Hub'
Brueckner, Jan K. - 2015
This paper provides the first analysis of the trade-off between convenient flight connections and airport congestion. A continuous spatial model illustrates this trade-off in a framework where a small gap between flight operating times raises congestion while also shortening a connecting...

Slot-Based Approaches to Airport Congestion Management
Brueckner, Jan K. - 2008
This paper analyzes slot-based approaches to management of airport congestion, using a model where airlines are asymmetric and internalize airport congestion. Under these circumstances, optimal congestion tolls differ across carriers, and since a slot-sale regime (with its uniform slot price)...

Atomistic Congestion Tolls at Concentrated Airports : Seeking a Unified View in the Internalization Debate
Brueckner, Jan K. - 2007
The goal of this paper is to bring some unity to the theoretical side of the debate on internalization of airport congestion by showing that all the literature's theoretical results can be derived within one simple and unified framework. The analysis starts by replicating the results of...

The Information Content of Dividends : Safer Profits, Not Higher Profits
Michaely, Roni - 2018
Contrary to the central prediction of signaling models, changes in profits do not empirically follow changes in dividends. We show both theoretically and empirically that dividends signal safer, rather than higher, future profits. Using the Campbell (1991) decomposition, we are able to estimate...

Exit Dynamics of Start-Up Firms : Does Profit Matter?
Golombek, Rolf - 2015
We estimate by means of indirect inference a structural economic model where firms' exit and investment decisions are the solution to a discrete-continuous dynamic programming problem. In the model the exit probability depends on the current capital stock and a measure of short-run...

Trade, Wages, and Profits
Egger, Hartmut - 2012
This paper formulates a structural empirical model of heterogeneous firms whose workers exhibit fair-wage preferences, leading to a link between a firm's operating profits and wages of workers employed by this firm. We estimate the parameters of the model in a data-set of five European...

Earnings Shocks and Tax-Motivated Income-Shifting : Evidence from European Multinationals
Dharmapala, Dhammika - 2012
This paper presents a new approach to estimating the existence and magnitude of tax-motivated income shifting within multinational corporations. Existing studies of income shifting use changes in corporate tax rates as a source of identification. In contrast, this paper exploits exogenous...
