A global monopoly supplier country of green goods which are essential for the provision of global environmental public goods optimally subsidizes the export of such goods in an interior contribution equilibrium. This is not counterbalanced by an incentive to improve the terms-of-trade, since any...

Die Vermögenspreise – insbesondere die von Aktien und Immobilien − sowie die Zinssätze und die Zinsstruktur stellen zentrale Determinanten der Gewinne der Kreditwirtschaft dar. In diesem Beitrag werden die Wechselwirkungen zwischen diesen Faktoren und deren Auswirkungen auf die...

Datenräume können die datenbasierte Wertschöpfung vorantreiben, wenn ökonomische, technische und regulatorische Rahmenbedingungen aufeinander abgestimmt sind. Ihr Erfolg hängt nicht allein von der technischen Infrastruktur ab, sondern von der Verknüpfung ökonomischer Anreize, rechtlicher...

Mit fortschreitender Digitalisierung findet ein erheblicher Teil der drahtlosen Sprachkommunikation und Datennutzung nicht mehr im Außenraum, sondern in Innenbereichen wie Gebäuden und Fahrzeugen (z. B. Zügen, Kfz) statt. Eine Neuausrichtung der regulatorischen Vorgaben hin zu einer...

This study examines the real effects of earnings stripping rules introduced in the European Union in 2019, which tie interest deductibility to contemporaneous profitability. Exploiting a quasi-natural experiment created by the EU's harmonized implementation under the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive...

We set up a life cycle model with real interest rate risk to demonstrate that real interest rates have implications for optimal household consumption and investments. Lower interest rates lead to higher optimal stock investments and lower consumption. Ignoring the time-varying nature of real...

Using a life-cycle model of household consumption and investment under family transitions, we investigate the long-run financial outcomes of divorces. We find divorce leads to a reduction in wealth, and the loss is larger for higher-educated women. Earlier fertility and a smaller parenthood...

Using unique tax audit data of 499 German firms, we analyze whether family firms, public firms, financially constrained firms, and those firms with managers with low tax morale substitute two tax strategies, book-tax conforming and nonconforming tax avoidance strategies, and examine the effect...

This study examines the effect of tax complexity on the market value of publicly traded firms. Using firm-level measures of tax complexity, we find that a one standard deviation increase in tax complexity-comparable in magnitude to the rise following the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act-is associated...

Effective policymakers must balance the demands of formulating a corporate tax system that raises revenue and spurs economic activity (e.g., investment) while promoting a "level playing field" across firms. Balancing these tradeoffs has likely caused tax systems to become more complex over time,...
