In this paper, we investigate the effects of climate conditions on collected tax revenues, based on a panel-model approach. The dataset includes 123 countries and covers the period 1996-2010. The main results demonstrate that climate has a significant impact on tax revenues, the assumed function...

We revisited the evidence of Karagianni et al. (Int Rev Econ Fin 21:186–194, <CitationRef CitationID="CR19">2012</CitationRef>) and Tiwari (Econ Bull 32:147–159, <CitationRef CitationID="CR31">2012</CitationRef>) by employing a recently developed and more powerful nonlinear Granger-causality test proposed by Nishiyama et al. (J Econ 165:112–127, <CitationRef CitationID="CR27">2011</CitationRef>) to investigate the...</citationref></citationref></citationref>

Using a panel-model approach, this paper investigates the relationship between the level of taxation and democracy. The dataset covers the period 2002--2008, and includes 51 countries. The study suggests that a significant increase of taxes, without a major negative reaction of taxpayers, can be...

This study analyses Granger-causality between the return series of CPI and PPI (i.e., inflation measured by CPI and PPI) for Romania, by using monthly data covering the period of 1991m1 to 2011m11. To analyse the issue in depth, this study decomposes the time-frequency relationship between CPI-...

The aim of present study is to probe the dynamic relationship between economic growth, energy consumption and CO2 emissions for period of 1980–2010 in case of Romania. In doing so, ARDL bounds testing approach is applied to investigate the long run cointegration between these variables. Our...
