Tax evasion and equity: A theoretical analysis
This paper analyzes the behavior of an expected-utility maximizing tax evader who is aware of the fact that he gets some benefit in exchange for the taxes. 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,...

While publicly observable at the time of the vote, legislators' decisions could only be verified ex post through the time-consuming...

Endogenous Growth, Semi-endogenous Growth... or Both? A Simple Hybrid Model
First generation endogenous growth models had the counterfactual implication that the long-term growth of per-capita GDP increased with the population size.

The Imbalanced Catch-up to Rational Expectations: Capital Flows during Convergence
How long shall a country take to learn the world technological frontier? What would happen if that country found the same difficulties in learning the true model of its economy? After all, countries catching up often experience life-changing transformations during the catch-up to a balanced growth path. We show that an open economy, learning rational expectations alongside foreign...

We analyze how the disposable income and consumption decisions of households are affected by exogenous house price changes in Switzerland. We look at consumption of both housing and nondurable goods to establish a comprehensive...
