Separating small and big fish: The case of income tax evasion

This paper proposes to offer the taxpayer a choice of tax-enforcement schemes for self-selection. More specifically, the taxpayer should have the possibility of opting for the prevailing regime with a certain penalty on the evaded tax or for an alternative regime with a higher penalty on the evaded tax but a reduced tax rate. It is shown that this leads to a separation of taxpayers…

Optimal price adjustment under imperfect information

Variations in cost and demand do not have symmetrical impact on the optimal price of the imperfectly competitive firm. This asymmetry is not so important as long as information regarding both cost and demand is sufficient. However, it becomes crucially important in case of incomplete information. Usually firms have more complete or ‘harder’ information on cost than on demand. This…

Integrating Concurrency and Object-Oriented Programming: An Evaluation of Hybrid

In this paper we address the effective use of the object-oriented programming approach for concurrent programming from a language design viewpoint. We present a set of requirements for the design of concurrent object-oriented languages. We then use a particular language, Hybrid, as a concrete example and examine to what extent its features meet these requirements. We identify the…

Within this framework, the equity argument that the proportion by which a tax payer evades taxes decreases if the share in public expenditures that is for his benefit increases, cannot be confirmed unambiguously. There is,…

The PLS (Partial Least Squares) Approach to Multidimensional Contingency Tables

Les idées développées d'ans ce texte s'inspirent de l'approche des modèles à variables latentes par les moindres carrés partiels (PLS) dite plus simplement " modélisation souple" (soft modeling) proposée par H. Wold (1795, 197, 1979, 1981). Le modèle définit une (ou plusieurs) variable latente pour chacune des marges du tableau de contingence. Les variables…
