The Taxation of Financial Capital Under Asymmetric Information and the Tax-Competition Paradox
2003
Information sharing between governments is examined in an optimal-taxation framework. We introduce a taxonomy of alternative systems of international capital-income taxation and characterize the choice of tax rates and information exchange. The model reproduces the conclusion found in earlier literature that integration of international caopital markets may lead to the under-provision of publicly provided goods. However, in contrast to previous results in the literature, under-provision occurs due to inefficiently coordinated expectations. We show that there exists a second equilibrium with an efficient level of public-good provision as well as complete and voluntary information exchange be…
Evaluation of the perceived social impacts of the Formula E Grand Prix of Santiago de Chile David
2020
[Abstract] The aim of this study is to analyse residents' perception of the social impact of the Formula E Grand Prix of Santiago de Chile. A sample of 414 residents was collected through a questionnaire made up of 46 items regarding possible positive and negative impacts. Descriptive analysis, confirmatory factorial analysis and cluster analysis were performed. The results showed two groups with different perceptions of this sporting event: realistic (n=152) and favourable (n=162). Sociodemographic variables referring to education level, civil status, income level, location of the family residence and political orientation contribute to significantly differentiating the clusters. The varia…
Am I an Entrepreneur? Entrepreneurial Self-Identity as an Antecedent of Entrepreneurial Intention
2020
Although many studies have shown that entrepreneurial intention can be explained according to a theory of planned behavior, some scholars have provided interesting insights into the role of job self-identity perception—in particularly the ones related to entrepreneurship—as significant precursor of entrepreneurial intention. A questionnaire has been administered to graduates and students of an Italian university (N = 153). A hierarchical regression analysis controlling for demographic variables has been performed in order to test the research hypotheses. The findings of this study have been discussed, with particular attention paid to the unexpected, weak, or non-significant effects of perc…
The effects of corruption in entrepreneurial ecosystems on entrepreneurial intentions
2019
Although researchers have identified corruption as a factor capable of affecting the entrepreneurial ecosystem at the national level of analysis, scholars have reported conflicting results regarding the exact nature of the relationship between corruption and entrepreneurial intentions. This paper formulates some propositions about the complex relationship between corruption and entrepreneurship at different levels of analysis and it suggests and explores the socio-cultural consequences of such domains&rsquo
Mechanisms of covalent dimerization on a bulk insulating surface
2017
Combining density functional theory and high resolution NC-AFM experiments, we have studied the on surface reaction mechanisms' responsible for the covalent dimerization of 4-iodobenzoic acid (IBA) organic molecules on the calcite (10.4), insulating surface. When annealed at 580 K, the Molecules assemble in one-dimensional chains of covalently bound dimers: The chains have a unique orientation and result from a complex set of processes, including a nominally rather. costly double dehalogenation reaction followed by dimerization. First, focusing on the latter two processes and using the nudged elastic band method, we analyze a number of possible mechanisms involving one and two molecules, an…
Computational linguistic assessment of textbook and online learning media by means of threshold concepts in business education
2020
Threshold concepts are key terms in domain-based knowledge acquisition. They are regarded as building blocks of the conceptual development of domain knowledge within particular learners. From a linguistic perspective, however, threshold concepts are instances of specialized vocabularies, exhibiting particular linguistic features. Threshold concepts are typically used in specialized texts such as textbooks -- that is, within a formal learning environment. However, they also occur in informal learning environments like newspapers. In this article, a first approach is taken to combine both lines into an overarching research program - that is, to provide a computational linguistic assessment of…
Holes in the Dike: the global savings glut, U.S. house prices and the long shadow of banking deregulation
2015
We explore empirically how capital inflows into the US and financial deregulation within the United States interacted in driving the run-up (and subsequent decline) in US housing prices over the period 1990-2010. To obtain an ex ante measure of financial liberalization, we focus on the history of interstate-banking deregulation during the 1980s, i.e. prior to the large net capital inflows into the US from China and other emerging economies. Our results suggest a long shadow of deregulation: in states that opened their banking markets to out-of-state banks earlier, house prices were more sensitive to capital inflows. We provide evidence that global imbalances were a major positive funding sh…
LKS-92 Coordinates Transformation to ITRF2000
2014
LKS-92 is Latvian geodetic coordinate system used as an EUREF89 realization in Latvia. LKS-92 is official coordinate system for procuring of essential geospatial data. For aeronautical and other purposes ITRF2000 is used in publication of geospatial data. Research is done to obtain transformation parameters from LKS-92 realization epoch 1992.75 through LatPos to ITRF2000 epoch 2000.00. Valuation of two different coordinate adjustment strategies and accuracy of parameters is done. Results of research could be used for transformation from LKS-92 to ITRF2000 for all kind of geospatial data.

Sentido y orientación de la Ley 27/2013 de Racionalización y Sostenibilidad de la Administración Local: autonomía local, recentralización y provisión…
2014
El presente trabajo trata de identificar algunas de las líneas esenciales de la reforma local operada por la ley 27/2013 y analizar cómo, en concreto, es previsible que afecten a nuestro régimen local tradicional y a los fundamentos de su marco jurídico constitucional. En concreto, el estudio se centra en indagar en la efectiva posibilidad de que la noción de autonomía local permita predicar cierta capacidad de resistencia jurídica frente a las pretensiones de reforma del legislador, en primer lugar. También analiza la reforma local a partir de la identificación de una línea, rastreable ya desde hace unos años, tendente a limitar las posibilidades de desarrollo autonómico, esto es, de recen…
