This paper applies the Ahmad-Stern model of indirect tax reform to the Irish economy for two different years, 1980 and 1987. It introduces a modification to the traditional marginal social cost measure used in these studies, ...
This paper examines the implications of extending the Ahmad-Stern (1984) model of indirect tax reform to include labor supply. The inclusion of labor supply alters the basic measure of marginal revenue cost of indirect ...
Recent evolutionary models have introduced "small mutation rates" as a way of refining predictions of long-run behavior. We show that if mutation rates are allowed to vary across states, then mutations no longer narrow the ...
This note examines the sensitivity of tests for homogeneity in demand systems to such factors as omitted variables and dynamic and stochastic specification. It estimates demand systems for Ireland using time-series data ...
This paper examines Irish demand patterns using conditional demand functions. This overcomes the problems faced by traditional demand analysis which neglects the influence of labour supply and thus assumes weak separability. ...
This paper incorporates the stylised fact of labour market rationing into an analysis of marginal tax reform in Ireland. In the absence of weak separability between goods and leisure, labour market rationing will have both ...
