This study aims to estimate the elasticity of taxable income (ETI) with regard net-of-tax rate, precisely in terms potential for margin arising from behavioral response. We use panel data top Japanese taxpayers Tokyo during 1986–1989 and focus on tax policy changes caused by 1987–1989 comprehensive reform, which substantially reduced marginal rates.

Today, we will start from the “trickle down” model with endogenous wages introduced by Stiglitz (1982). We then analyze an example of optimal taxation in a general equilibrium model where workers choose between di↵erent occupations/se...

I n the January 2001 issue of Computer (pp. 135-137), we published the Software Defect Reduction Top 10 List—one of two foci pursued by the National Science Foundation-sponsored Center for Empirically Based Software Engineering (CeBASE). COTS-based systems (CBS) provide the other CeBASE focus. For our intent, COTS software has the following characteristics: The buyer has no access to the source...
