Taxing intellectual property in the global economy : a plea for regulated and internationally coordinated profit splitting
Richter, Wolfram F. - 2017
Inter-country equity in the taxation of IP is a contentious issue. With its BEPS initiative, the OECD aims at taxing in accordance with value creation even though there are admitted difficulties in determining the actual place of value creation. The European Commission promotes the introduction...

The economics of platform liability
Lefouili, Yassine; Madio, Leonardo - 2021
Public authorities in many jurisdictions are concerned about the proliferation of illegal content and products on online platforms. In this paper, we provide an economic appraisal of platform liability that highlights the effects of a stricter liability rule on several key variables such as...

Exploring the intensive and extensive margins of world trade : presented at Venice Summer Institute, Workshop on Dissecting Globalization, July 2004
Felbermayr, Gabriel; Kohler, Wilhelm - 2004
World trade evolves at two margins. Where a bilateral trading relationship already exists it may increase through time … have not traded with each other in the past (extensive margin). We provide an empirical dissection of post-World-War- II … growth in manufacturing world trade along these two margins. We propose a "cornersolutions- version"of the gravity model to …

On the widely differing effects of free trade agreements : lessons from twenty years of trade integration
Baier, Scott L.; Yotov, Yoto V.; Zylkin, Thomas - 2016
We develop a novel two-stage methodology that allows us to study the empirical determinants of the ex post effects of past free trade agreements (FTAs) as well as obtain ex ante predictions for the effects of future FTAs. We first identify 908 unique estimates of the effects of FTAs on different...

Distance, globalization, and international trade
Borchert, Ingo; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2016
For a long time globalization could be seen everywhere but in gravity estimates. We offer evidence how globalization affects manufacturing trade over the period 1986-2006 and show that, on average, the effect of distance has fallen whereas the effects of proximity and regional trade agreements...

Heterogeneous economic integration agreement effects
Baier, Scott L.; Bergstrand, Jeffrey H.; Clance, Matthew W. - 2015
Gravity equations have been used for more than 50 years to estimate ex post the partial effects of trade costs on international trade flows, and the well-known - and traditionally presumed exogenous - "trade-cost elasticity" plays a central role in computing general equilibrium trade-flow and...
