The principal is to provide the agent with a unit of a good that involves externalities so that market mechanisms fail to achieve first best. Red tape produces information but is costly to the agent and is administered by a corrupt bureaucrat. First, the bureaucrat may extort bribes fro...
متن کاملA formalization of multi-tape Turing machines
We discuss the formalization, in the Matita Theorem Prover, of basic results on multi-tapes Turing machines, up to the existence of a (certified) Universal Machine, and propose it as a natural benchmark for comparing different interactive provers and assessing the state of the art in the mechanization of formal reasoning. The work is meant to be a preliminary step towards the creation of a form...

Our main empirical finding is that countries where it takes less time to register new b...
