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.

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.

Tax systems ensure sustainable economic development by adjusting production technologies and gross output volumes.

problem Ensuring sustainable economic development through optimal tax systems.
method Explicit formulas and mathematical proofs for tax systems based on production technologies and gross output volumes.
result The vector of gross output must belong to the interior of the cone formed by the columns of the total cost matrix under perfect taxation systems.

Tax dynamics affects wealth distribution in a linearly growing socio-economic model.

problem Analyzing how tax policies impact wealth distribution in a stochastic resetting system.
method Analytical and numerical study of a system of agents with linear wealth growth, stochastic resetting, and tax redistribution.
result Optimal taxation leads to economic equality, while excessive taxation results in reverse disparity.

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 …

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.

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%.

We show that the introduction of Tobin taxes in agent-based models of currency markets can lead to a reduction of speculative trading and reduce the magnitude of exchange rate fluctuations at intermediate tax rates. In this regime revenues for the market maker obtained from speculators are maximal. We here focus on Min…

Foundation models fail to preserve continuous geometry, identified as the Geometric Alignment Tax.

problem Continuous geometry is lost in foundation models due to discrete categorical bottlenecks.
method Controlled ablations on synthetic systems and evaluation of 14 biological models using rate-distortion theory and MINE.
result Replacing cross-entropy with a continuous head reduces geometric distortion by up to 8.5x.

GenAI adoption paradoxically lowers ROE for U.S. banks, with spillovers but systemic risk concerns.

problem Productivity paradox and implementation costs in U.S. banking sector with AI adoption.
method Dynamic Spatial Durbin Models (DSDM) and Synthetic Difference-in-Differences (SDID) for causal inference.
result AI adoption leads to a 428-basis-point decline in ROE for banks, with spillovers but systemic risk implications.

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…

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 …

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…

A microscopic dynamic model is here constructed and analyzed, describing the evolution of the income distribution in the presence of taxation and redistribution in a society in which also tax evasion and auditing processes occur. The focus is on effects of enforcement regimes, characterized by different choices of the …

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…

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…

Study proposes a tax-based system to share disaster risk among regions.

problem Systemic risk in catastrophic events and insurer insolvency.
method Public-private partnership with government intervention through taxation.
result Taxation system effectively shares residual claims in case of insurer insolvency.

Through a short sale, a person borrows a share of stock from a lender, sells the borrowed share to a third person at the current price, and purchases an identical share in the market at a future date and at a future price to replace the borrowed share of stock. This only makes sense if the short seller anticipates a do…

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…

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.

The z-transform technique is used to investigate the model for distribution of high-tax payers, which is proposed by two of the authors (K. Y and S. M) and others. Our analysis shows an asymptotic power-law of this model with the exponent -5/2 when a total ``mass'' has a certain critical value. Below the critical value…
