This paper analyzes the effects of specific and ad valorem taxation in an industry with downstream and upstream oligopoly. We find that in the short run, i.e. when the number of firms in both markets is exogenous, the results concerning tax incidence tend to be qualitatively similar to models...

We study the pass-through of indirect taxes on beer prices in the European Union (EU). Exploiting the variation of value added tax rates, beer excise tax rates, and beer prices in a panel of monthly data from 1996 to 2016 of all current 28 EU member states, we estimate the tax pass-through of...

Many countries are currently debating whether to reduce or eliminate taxes on feminine hygiene products as a measure to address "period poverty" and promote gender equality. Legislators often reject proposals involving reforms of "tampon taxes" as the pass-through of sales taxes into consumer...

The tax incidence is central to the effectiveness of taxation. In this paper, I examine the pass-through rate of an air passenger tax to airfares. Additionally, I analyse its impact on passenger numbers, air transport capacity, and the interaction with supply and demand elasticity. For...

We view the different start dates of U.S. airport taxes as replicated natural experiments. In each, a portion of plane tickets are subject to a new tax of $3. We show that airlines, in response, raise nonstop fares by $6.5 and overshift the tax onto their nonstop passengers; however, they keep...

In a 2001 article that appeared in the International Journal of Industrial Organization, Delipalla and O’Donnell derive a formula for the incidence of an ad valorem or specific tax in a conjectural variations oligopoly model with potentially asymmetric firms (Delipalla and O’Donnell, 2001)....
