Fiscal Decentralization and Public Sector Efficiency : Evidence from OECD Countries
Adam, Antonis - 2008
This paper attempts to identify the effect of fiscal decentralization on public sector efficiency (PSE). We employ data envelopment analysis on a panel of 21 OECD countries over the period 1970-2000 to construct two alternative PSE indicators that reflect the governmental goals of economic...

Margins of Multinational Labor Substitution
Muendler, Marc-Andreas - 2008
Multinational labor demand responds to wage differentials at the extensive margin, when a multinational enterprise (MNE) expands into foreign locations, and at the intensive margin, when an MNE operates existing affiliates across locations. We derive conditions for parametric and nonparametric...

Individual Heterogeneity, Nonlinear Budget Sets, and Taxable Income
Blomquist, Soren - 2015
Many studies have estimated the effect of taxes on taxable income. To account for nonlinear taxes these studies either use instrumental variables approaches that are not fully consistent, or impose strong functional form assumptions. None allow for general heterogeneity in preferences. In this...

Asymmetric Neutrality Regulation and Innovation at the Edges : Fixed vs. Mobile Networks
Choi, Jay Pil - 2014
We study how net neutrality regulations affect a high-bandwidth content provider's (CP) investment incentives in quality of services (QoS). We find that the effects crucially depend on network capacity levels. With limited capacity, as in mobile networks, prioritized delivery services are...
