The smarter state? : artificial intelligence and modern state and local public finance

Agrawal, David R.; Fox, William F. - 2026

This paper examines how artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes subnational public finance, largely through familiar channels observed from prior technological change. Although some effects are novel, many issues surrounding the taxation of AI-related income and consumption parallel earlier...

Can trade benefit natural resources under population growth? : the role of manufacturing's returns to scale

Schiff, Maurice W. - 2026

I examine whether trade can improve the impact of population growth on natural resources (NR) and welfare over time. Under autarky, population growth results in NR and welfare collapse over time, irrespective of the value of the returns to scale in the manufacturing sector, ϕ. Under trade, NR...

Did foreigners pay America's tariffs? : quantity discounts, scale economies and incomplete pass-through

Ganapati, Sharat; Hottman, Colin - 2026

Transaction-level quantity discounts are a pervasive feature of US trade, shaping both price variation and tariff incidence. Using administrative microdata, we show that these discounts reflect transaction-level scale economies rather than market power. Accounting for these micro-level economies...

Growing together and apart : scale economies and labor specialization in global value chains

Arnarson, Björn Thor; Buus, Magnus Tolum; Moxnes, Andreas - 2026

We study how firm growth reorganizes the division of labor across firms in global value chains. Using a novel dataset linking cross-border firm-to-firm transactions to matched employer-employee data, we show that demand shocks increase trade between firms while reducing occupational similarity,...
