Tax salience : how requiring transparency affects the price of equality

Craig, Ashley C.; Sher, Itai - 2026

Less-salient taxes can ease the classic equality-efficiency trade-off by making people respond less to taxation. But deliberately obscuring taxes may be viewed as dishonest. This creates a three-way trade-off between equality, efficiency, and honesty. We analyze this trade-off in a simple...

The hidden objectivism of revealed-preference welfare economics

Kolmar, Martin - 2026

Revealed preference theory (RPT) and its behavioral extension (BRPT) underpin an important strand of welfare economics. Their normative appeal rests on the claim that welfare can be inferred from observed behavior without substantive assumptions about what agents should value - a property I call...

Carbon, natural capital and the option values of climate policies

Edenhofer, Ottmar; Franks, Max - 2026

We develop a unified cost-benefit framework that allows for a better understanding of nature conservation and climate policies under risk and uncertainty. We derive modified Hotelling rules from a social planner’s welfare optimization. They reveal four forces that jointly determine market...

Welfare improving prohibitive tariffs

Marjit, Sugata; Misra, Suryaprakash; Kabiraj, Tarun; … - 2026 - First draft

We consider welfare impacts of prohibitive tariffs on trading partners. Initially, there is prohibitive tariff by one country and a zero tariff by its trading partner. Thereafter, the trading partner also resorts to prohibitive tariff. We demonstrate how prohibitive tariffs by the trading...

What Pareto-efficiency adjustments cannot fix

Ortega, Josue; Ziegler, Gabriel; Arribillaga, R. Pablo; … - 2026

The Deferred Acceptance (DA) algorithm is stable and strategy-proof, but can produce matchings that are Pareto-inefficient for students, and thus several alternatives have been proposed to correct this inefficiency that only involve consented priority violations. However, we show that these...

Economic welfare to economic warfare? : the EU and the changing face of international trade

Lau, Christian; Schropp, Simon A. B. - 2026

In today's world, trade serves economic security - and economic security is subordinate to national security. This article discusses how well the EU was able to navigate the turbulence of 2025 and what comes next as it deploys its own economic security toolkit in 2026.

Normative aspects in modeling the urgency of climate policy

The social cost of carbon (SCC) is the central concept of benefit-cost analysis in climate economics. The SCC provides guidance on the urgency of climate policy as it expresses the present value of expected future damages associated with the emission of one additional ton of CO₂. This paper...

This paper analyzes a monopolistic market with a continuum of consumers in the linear case. Consumers are vertically differentiated by a one-dimensional preference for quality, and the monopolist is allowed to offer a menu of quality-price pairs. The analysis shows that, in the linear case, the...

We extend the swaps index of rationality, introduced by Apesteguia and Ballester (2015) for a finite set of alternatives, to the standard infinite consumer choice setting in which other rationality indices are typically defined. We show that the swaps approach recovers the decision-maker's true...
