This paper is devoted to optimal income taxation in an open economy. It examines the consequences of the increasing mobility of high skilled workers between developed countries. We focus on a world consisting of two countries, a redistributive country and a laissez-faire country. We rst look into the rst-best optimal tax scheme when emigration of every agent is prevented. We prove that, under t...

Previous literature has shown that missing credit or insurance markets do not necessarily provide an efficiency-based argument for educational subsidies, starting with a laissez faire competitive equilibrium. We show that they do, provided learning abilities vary idiosyncratically. In an OLG economy with ability heterogeneity and missing financial markets, we prove: (a) every competitive equili...

This paper challanges the view that weak work norms in generous welfare states makes them economically unsustainable. I develop a dynamic model of family-transmitted values that has a laissez-faire equilibrium with strong work norms coexisting with a social-insurance equilibrium with weak work norms. While the former has better incentives, the latter induces more intergenerational occupational ...

This paper brings the differentiation perspective of human resource management (HRM) to China's context of economic transition, and constructs a hybridism rationale to explain the distinctive characteristics of Chinese HRM. We respectively discuss the effect mechanisms of commitment-based, control-based, collaboration-based, and contract-based HRM archetypes in China. Then, by comparing the pat...

Spatial mobility is a topical concept of analytical migration science, which makes it possible to assess the desires, readiness and capabilities of the population to move over certain distances and time. In the management of spatial mobility assessment requires the organization of systematic monitoring, which includes identifying the mobility potential in spatial and temporal interpretation, th...
