This paper uses the data gained from an income categorization experiment for five shapes of income distributions to investigate background context effects, relative deprivation, range-frequency theory to explain background context effects, individual income satisfaction versus aggregate...

The conventional approach to comparing tax progression (using local measures, global measures or dominance relations for first moment distribution functions) often lacks applicability to the real world: local measures of tax progression have the disadvantage of ignoring the income distribution...

Im europäischen Vergleich nimmt Deutschland bei den wichtigen ökonomischen Kennziffern einen der hinteren Plätze ein. Ohne ein durchgreifendes Sanierungskonzept wird es keinen Weg aus der Krise geben. Professor Christian Seidl plädiert für eine grundlegende Neugestaltung des Steuer- und...
