The Empirical Analysis of Fiscal Illusion
This paper examines the empirical analysis of the five main hypotheses subsumed under the generic term fiscal illusion. After placing these hypotheses within a common theoretical framework, the paper attempts to evaluate empirical research into the revenue-complexity hypothesis, the revenueelasticity hypothesis, the flypaper effect, renter illusion, and debt illusion.
متن کاملFiscal Illusion from Property Reassessment? an Empirical Test of the Residual View
The property tax rate, according to the residual view, is simply the ratio of levies over total assessed values, so that growth in property values is irrelevant to the revenue raised.

متن کاملFiscal Illusion and Fiscal Obfuscation:An Empirical Study of Tax Perception in Sweden
In this paper we present survey evidence suggesting that there exists a sizeable fiscal illusion amongst the general public in Sweden. Respondents in a nationwide and representative survey systematically underestimate the share of an ordinary worker‟s income that is transferred to the public sector. Furthermore, we make a theoretical distinction between tax illusion and fiscal obfuscation, a pr...
متن کاملSearch Based Automatic Test-Data Generation at an Architectural Level
The need for effective testing techniques for architectural level descriptions is widely recognised. However, due to the variety of domain-specific architectural description languages, there remains a lack of practical techniques in many application domains. We present a simulation-based testing framework that applies optimisation-based search to achieve high-performance testing for a type of a...
متن کاملTechnology sourcing: an empirical analysis using firm-level patent data∗
This paper examines whether UK firms that locate their R&D activity in the USA benefit more than other UK firms from knowledge spillovers originating from US R&D. Patent data provides a firm-level measure of the location of innovative activity, which enables the identification of knowledge spillovers associated with "technology sourcing". Our identification strategy helps to address various pro...
