Tariffs, quotas and VER's when capital is internationally mobile

Neary, J. Peter (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1987-03)

This paper begins by reexamining the equivalence of tariffs and quantitative trade restrictions. It is argued that equivalence holds in extremely general circumstances but that this fact must be interpreted with care, since ...
Tariffs Versus VAT in the presence of heterogeneous firms and an informal sector

In this article, I evaluate the hypothesis that firms respond to negative demand shocks by assigning workers to tasks that require less skill than the tasks they normally carry out. Using changes in employment in state-industry ...

Taxes and the location of production

Porter, Lynda (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2003-04)

In this paper I examine dynamic tax competition in the context of an endogenous market structure. I therefore consider the tensions between proximity versus concentration, taxation and firm mobility while I also consider ...

Tax policy and OECD unemployment

Ó Murchú, Alvin (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2002-12)

TEAM and Irish Steel : an application of the declining high-wage industries literature

Barry, Frank ; Durkan, Joe (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1995-07)

Since wage stickiness generates unemployment or intersectoral labour transfer in excess of that associated with a flexible-wage adjustment process, it is frequently argued that declining industries should be subsidised to ...

Technological progress under learning by imitation

Kelly, Morgan (University College Dublin, School of Economics, 2005-09)
