Who benefits from increased competition among sellers on B2C platforms?

We introduce within-group external effects in the two-sided sin glehoming model of Armstrong (2006). First, we propose a general characterization of the platform access fees at the symmetric equil ibrium of the game. Second, we combine this general formulation with a specific modeling of the relationship between buyers and sellers on B2C platforms, so as to analyze how changes in the underlying characteristics of the product market affect the equilibrium of the game. We show that an increase in the number of sellers may benefit sellers while hurting buyers. We also show that sellers and buyers prefer full product differentiation while platforms prefer no differentiation. ... [more]

The Distribution of Top Incomes in New Zealand

December 2005 · SSRN Electronic Journal

Using taxation statistics, we estimate the income share held by top income groups in New Zealand over the period 1921-2002. We find that the income share of the richest fell during the 1930s, rose again after World War II, and steadily declined from the late-1950s until the mid-1980s. From the mid-1980s until the mid-1990s, top income shares rose rapidly. We also estimate shares-within-shares, ... [Show full abstract] and find that the income share of the super-rich as a share of the rich followed a similar trajectory, rising sharply over the past quarter-century. Throughout the twentieth century, top income shares in New Zealand followed a very similar pattern to top income shares in Australia. We speculate that the reduction in top marginal tax rates, the deregulation of the economy, and the internationalisation of the market for English-speaking CEOs may have contributed to the recent rise in top income shares.

Government for the People: On the Determinants of the Size of U.S. Government

January 2008 · IMF Working Papers

Trends in the size of U.S. government are examined. In the postwar period, general government primary spending rose by Â¼ percent of GDP a year through 1975, stabilizing thereafter. With higher social transfers offset by a lower burden of defense spending, expansion reflected a baby-boom driven rise in education spending. The parallel improvement in tax efficiency helped equate the benefits of ... [Show full abstract] higher spending with the costs from higher taxation, in accordance with a marginalist view of the size of government. Looking forward, the retirement of baby boomers appears likely to expand government and lead to a more efficient tax system.

ANALISIS POTENSI DAN KONTRIBUSI PAJAK BUMI DAN BANGUNAN SEKTOR PERDESAAN DAN PERKOTAAN (PBB P2) DI K...

July 2018 · Jurnal REKSA Rekayasa Keuangan Syariah dan Audit

According to the law number 28 year 2009 on local taxes and levies, building and land tax is 5 types namely P2 and P3. PBB P2 is the rural and urban areas, PBB P3 is the agricultural sector, fisheries, and mining. PBB P2 central tax formerly be transferred to local taxes. The regulation is effective from the beginning of 2014. Several regions had already been made since the transitional PBB P2 ... [Show full abstract] 2012. One of the regions that conducted the transfer is in Yogyakarta. The purpose of this research was to study, analyze and concluded about potential of tax in Kabupaten Gunungkidul PBB P2 in 2014 and about the contribution of the PBB P2 in Kabupaten Gunungkidul last year until the year 2014. Based on calculations on the results of potential PBB P2 2104 year, the determination of the target and the realization of tax revenue PBB P2 in 2014 is far from the existing potential. A comparison of potential PBB P2 and the target of PBB P2 is 24,49 %, it means the determination of the target of PBB P2 is far from the existing potential. A comparison of the potential and the PBB P2 is 21,06 percent, it means the realization of tax revenue PBB P2 is far from the existing potential. In accordance with the results of the calculation of the potential research Abdullah (2012) said that when the budget income, the head of units tend to determine the target under the potential income actually. The calculation on the contribution indicate the percentage of PBB P2 in Kabupaten Gunungkidul from 2011 up to 2013 has been steadily declining. It means the role of PBB P2 or other contributions to the local revenue starting the year 2011 up to 2013 the less. This is because the realization of local revenue in Kabupaten Gunungkidul from 2011 until 2013 also rose, so as to cause the contribution of PBB P2 to local government revenue decline, although the realization of tax revenue PBB P2 increase from year 2011 up to 2013 .

A Bloodless Counter-Revolution: The Conservative Party and the Defence of Inequality, 1945–51

January 1996

Harriet Jones

The development of Conservative Party policy in the early postwar years has provided one of the keystones upon which the ‘house’ of consensus has been built. According to the traditional narrative, the Party responded to the combined experiences of war and electoral defeat in 1945 first, by broadening its membership base and promoting a younger, more progressive generation, and secondly, by ... [Show full abstract] accepting the broad strands of what is often called ‘the postwar settlement’:1 the mixed economy, the welfare state, full employment policy and Keynesian economic management. Indeed, it has been argued that this was already the case in the spring of 1945, and that the ‘trouble was that people did not believe that the Conservatives meant what they said, whereas they thought on the whole that Labour did’.2 This credibility gap was closed by R.A. Butler, who oversaw the development of a ‘new Conservatism’, which he later explained as a ‘humanised capitalism’, ‘adapted to the needs of the postwar world’.3 Lord Blake has explained that Once in office the Conservatives had a golden opportunity to show that they were not only the party of freedom but that they could combine it with full employment, rising prosperity and the preservation of the welfare state….[T]he Party did not throw away its advantage. Whatever long term opportunities were missed in terms of restructuring British industry and taking the lead in Europe…Tory freedom did appear to work. Restrictions were relaxed. Living standards rose. Taxation fell. Employment remained high. The welfare state was not dismantled. The housing pledge was fulfilled.4
