The Effects of the Value-Added Tax on Revenue and Inequality
2019
This paper examines the impact of the introduction of the value-added tax on inequality and government revenues using newly released macro data. We present both conventional country fixed effect regressions and instrumental variable analyses, where VAT adoption is instrumented using the previous values of neighbouring countries’ VAT systems as an instrument. The results reveal – in contrast to earlier work – that the revenue consequences of the VAT have not been positive. The results indicate that income-based inequality has increased due to the VAT adoption, whereas consumption inequality has remained unaffected. Peer reviewed
Geografie marginali: la mappa e il tempo del piccolo globo virale (Dialogo tra AB e GdS)
2022
A partire dal Meridiano di Paul Celan, tra geografia e retorica, si stabilisce un rapporto tra la fase virale del capitalismo e la virale pandemia. Sul versante della retorica, il meridiano si connette al linguaggio dei media e delle comunicazioni ufficiali che utilizza il termine mappa per mettere in immagine la diffusione del Covid-19. Termine che per i geografi significa tecnicamente panno del mondo, ossia qualcosa che avvolge e circonda il mondo con pieghe e intensit�� in un registro temporale di crisi irriducibile alla ragione reticolare e allo spazio sincronico contemporaneo (Olsson, 2007). �� la proiezione di una simile ���mappamundi virale��� a ridisegnare il contenuto del globo att…
Abating inequalities? : Job quality at the intersection of class and gender in Finland 1977–2013
2016
Globalization with its many side-effects on working life is seen to pose accentuated risks especially for women and low skilled workers – resulting in increasing polarization of job quality. In contrast to “universal theories”, institutional theories claim changes in work life might vary according to the institutional and cultural frameworks which mediate the global pressures of change. This study analyses job quality trends in Finland at the intersection of class and gender. The results, based on the Finnish Quality of Work Life survey (1977–2013), find no clear evidence of polarization. In line with the institutional theory’s prediction of a low risk of polarization in coordinated and in…
