Dynamic tax depreciation strategies
The tax depreciation decision potentially has significant impact on the profitability of firms and projects. Indeed, the depreciation method chosen for tax purposes affects the timing of tax payments, and, as a consequence, it also affects the after-tax net present value of investment projects. Previous research focusses on the optimal choice of depreciation method under the assumption that the...
متن کاملAppreciating depreciation: physical capital depreciation in a developing country
Little is known about the nature of physical capital in the less-developed countries. This article addresses the lack of empirical study related to depreciation rates, which are a neglected but important ingredient of both micro and macro models and empirical analyses. Based on rich establishment-level survey data, and using a straightforward econometric approach, I estimate depreciation rates ...
متن کاملGeography, Depreciation, and Growth
Any visit to the seashore will confirm that it is more difficult to build a large sandcastle if one locates the project too near the lapping waves of the ocean. The sandcastle may grow well initially, but eventually a rouge wave washes out some portion of the progress. It may be possible for the sandcastle to grow on net, so long as investment in building outpaces losses to the waves, but it mu...
متن کاملWars as Large Depreciation Shocks ∗
In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework to investigate the impact of conflicts and wars on key macroeconomic aggregates and welfare. Using a panel data with 12 countries from 1875 onwards we first show that consumption drops more than output during conflicts, while the opposite is true during “peaceful” recessions. To handle both cases, we build a variation of a Real Business Cycle mo...
متن کاملStationary dual prices and depreciation
This paper models a machine replacement and capacity expansion problem as an infinite-horizon linear program. We establish a strong duality result and show that stationary dual prices are optimal, regardless of initial conditions. These prices measure the economic value of owning vintage machinery and thus define depreciation schedules. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for straigh...
