Higher environmental performance linked to more tax avoidance, especially for financially constrained firms.

method Entropy balancing, propensity score matching, instrumental variable method, Heckman test.
result Higher environmental performance correlates with increased tax avoidance, particularly for financially constrained firms.

Membership in the Russell 1000 and 2000 Indices is based on a ranking of market capitalization in May. Each index is separately value weighted such that firms just inside the Russell 2000 are comparable in size to firms just outside (i.e. at the bottom of the Russell 1000) but have much higher index weights. These feat…

Tax evasion is the illegal evasion of taxes by individuals, corporations, and trusts. The revenue loss from tax avoidance can undermine the effectiveness and equity of the government policies. A standard measure of tax evasion is the tax gap, that can be estimated as the difference between the total amounts of tax theo…

I explain the root of persistent failure of efforts to remove tax-induced distortions of economic incentives. It lies in FUNDAMENTAL IMPOSSIBILITY of objectively evaluating tax base. Distortions can be entirely avoided in the sector of publicly traded corporations. Evaluation can be bypassed by taxing it in shares (to …

Study tests UK FTSE-listed companies' financial data for Benford's Law conformity.

problem Ensuring the fairness of public revenue collection and reducing tax avoidance risks.
method Utilised pre-tax income and total assets data from 567 FTSE companies, tested for Benford's Laws conformity using χ2\chi^2 and MAD tests.

Flow taxes and stock taxes preserve portfolio neutrality under specific conditions.

problem Analyzing the impact of different types of taxes on portfolio choice.
method Extending the neutrality result to a full system of ownership taxes, showing how each tax modifies the drift of the wealth process.
result The combined system of taxes preserves portfolio neutrality under three conditions, and the drift-shift symmetry generalizes to a drift-shift-and-rescale symmetry.

We introduce two models of taxation, the latent and natural tax processes, which have both been used to represent loss-carry-forward taxation on the capital of an insurance company. In the natural tax process, the tax rate is a function of the current level of capital, whereas in the latent tax process, the tax rate is…

Germany's tax admin costs likely exceed 20% of total revenue, requiring system improvement.

problem High tax administrative costs in Germany and other jurisdictions.
method Statistical data, surveys, and a novel approach to measure total administrative cost as a percentage of total tax revenue.
result Germany's 2021 tax administrative costs likely exceeded 20% of total tax revenue.

We model the quantities appearing in Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax guidance for calculating the health insurance premium tax credit created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also called Obamacare. We ask the question of whether there is a procedure, computable by hand, which can calculate the appr…

In this paper, we propose stock trading based on the average tax basis. Recall that when selling stocks, capital gain should be taxed while capital loss can earn certain tax rebate. We learn the optimal trading strategies with and without considering taxes by reinforcement learning. The result shows that tax ignorance …

The Tobin tax is an often discussed method to tame speculation and get a source of income. The discussion is especially heated when the financial markets are in crisis. In this article we refer to foreign exchange markets. The Tobin tax should be a small international tax affecting all currency transactions and thus co…

A dynamic agent model is introduced with an annual random wealth multiplicative process followed by taxes paid according to a linear wealth-dependent tax rate. If poor agents pay higher tax rates than rich agents, eventually all wealth becomes concentrated in the hands of a single agent. By contrast, if poor agents are…

AI-driven tax policies improve economic equality and productivity.

problem Lack of appropriate economic data and limited opportunity to experiment.
method Two-level deep reinforcement learning approach to learn dynamic tax policies from observational data.
result AI-driven tax policies improve the trade-off between equality and productivity by 16%.

Extends wealth tax neutrality framework to stochastic volatility and non-homothetic preferences.

problem Ensuring wealth taxes are neutral under various economic conditions.
method Extended Frøseth's neutrality framework to stochastic volatility and non-homothetic preferences, identified four channels of non-neutrality, and applied the framework to global minimum wealth taxes.
result Non-uniform assessment, general equilibrium effects, progressive thresholds, and endogenous labour supply can cause non-neutrality under CRRA preferences.

We develop a model of tax evasion based on the Ising model. We augment the model using an appropriate enforcement mechanism that may allow policy makers to curb tax evasion. With a certain probability tax evaders are subject to an audit. If they get caught they behave honestly for a certain number of periods. Simulatin…

This article describes and explores taxes and debt in finance. Here a situation is thought about, where tax payments would qualify to be considered as debt. Using this principle we can infer that it is possible to create and price a type of bond (Tax Normalization Guarantee) for companies, which would allow them to ent…

Tool detects tax evasion on social media using multi-modal deep learning.

problem Detecting tax evasion on social media platforms.
method Developed a multi-modal deep neural network combining comments, hashtags, and images.
result Multi-modal deep neural network achieved AUC of 0.808 and F1 score of 0.762.

Wealth redistribution through Fokker-Planck equation controls preserves Gini coefficient.

problem Preserving Gini coefficient through proportional wealth tax.
method Formulating optimal redistribution as a control problem for Fokker-Planck equation.
result Progressive taxes redistribute within policy-relevant timescales.
Tobin tax and market depthcond-mat.stat-mech

This paper investigates - on the basis of the Cont-Bouchaud model - whether a Tobin tax can stabilize foreign exchange markets. Compared to earlier studies, this paper explicitly recognizes that a transaction tax-induced reduction in market depth may increase the price responsiveness of a given order. We find that the …

Wealth tax equivalent to government stake, affecting returns and portfolio choice.

problem Effect of proportional wealth tax on asset returns and portfolio choice.
method Analyzes the economic equivalence and multiplicative separability of wealth tax, deriving four main results.
result The coefficient of variation of wealth is invariant to the tax rate, and optimal portfolio weights are independent of the tax rate.

New approach to optimal income tax theory tackles inequity issues.

problem Optimal tax schedules often lead to minimal tax rates for higher earners, contradicting ethical practices.
method Developed a theorem for piecewise-linear environment and introduced a new utility function parameter.
result New approach leads to more equitable tax schedules, interpreting optimality criteria easily.

We reformulate wealth taxation using Fokker-Planck equations to ensure tax neutrality.

problem Ensuring tax neutrality in wealth taxation frameworks.
method Reformulating the neutral wealth tax framework using stochastic dynamics and statistical physics, specifically Fokker-Planck equations.
result The framework clarifies when wealth taxation is a benign rescaling of dynamics and when it introduces new physics.

Credit risk may be warehoused by choice, or because of limited hedging possibilities. Credit risk warehousing increases capital requirements and leaves open risk. Open risk must be priced in the physical measure, rather than the risk neutral measure, and implies profits and losses. Furthermore the rate of return on cap…

Model analyzes debt recycling strategies under various fiscal regimes and jurisdictions.

problem Understanding debt recycling dynamics and their impact on repayment times and equity growth.
method Developed a calibrated model incorporating mortgage interest rates, borrowing costs, and tax shields.
result Introducing positive interest rates without tax shields contracts success regions and lengthens repayment times, but tax shields partially reverse these effects.

This paper presents a simple agent-based model of an economic system, populated by agents playing different games according to their different view about social cohesion and tax payment. After a first set of simulations, correctly replicating results of existing literature, a wider analysis is presented in order to stu…
