Tanzi ( 1987 ) : A Retrospective

چکیده
763 National Tax Journal Vol. LIV, No. 4 Abstract This empirical research extends the work of Tanzi (1987) and provides comparative 1985–99 corporate income tax (CIT) rates for 29 different countries, spanning the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asia. A common worldwide trend in CIT rates emerges. During the 1985–99 period, the top CIT rate decreased by 11 percentage points in the United States, by an average of 11 percentage points in the European Union (EU) countries, and by an average of 9 percentage points in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. The research results are consistent with the international tax competition literature, particularly that of Gravelle (1986), which posits that a particular country’s CIT rates are determined by not only such traditional factors as economic efficiency, administrative simplicity, and fairness, but also international consequences such as international CIT rates.

Isolation of polymorphic DNA fragments from human chromosome 4.
We have identified and characterized 40 DNA probes detecting restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) on human chromosome 4. Single copy human clones were isolated from a bacteriophage library enriched for chromosome 4 sequences. Each clone was hybridized to somatic cell hybrid DNAs for verification of its species and chromosomal origin and for regional localization. Sequences specific f...
متن کاملMolecular genetics of human chromosome 21.
Chromosome 21 is the smallest autosome, comprising only about 1.9% of human DNA, but represents one of the most intensively studied regions of the genome. Much of the interest in chromosome 21 can be attributed to its association with Down's syndrome, a genetic disorder that afflicts one in every 700 to 1000 newborns. Although only 17 genes have been assigned to chromosome 21, a very large numb...
