Comparison of Film Tax Credits Across State Lines 各州电影税收抵免的比较
Pub Date : 2021-07-21 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3890522
Emily Gillenwater
In the United States, there are essentially three tax regimes when it comes to film tax credits. The United States currently does not have a federal filming credit, unlike Canada. Because of this, states have an open market to compete in which leads to a cutthroat competition. This paper will discuss the current regimes, how they work, and the benefits each has. The second half of this paper is a comparison of the most "successful" regime in Georgia to North Carolina. The conclusion focuses on how North Carolina can exploit weaknesses within the Georgia regime.
在美国,就电影税收抵免而言,基本上有三种税收制度。与加拿大不同,美国目前没有联邦电影信贷。正因为如此,各州有一个开放的市场来竞争,这导致了残酷的竞争。本文将讨论当前的制度,它们是如何运作的,以及每个制度的好处。本文的后半部分比较了乔治亚州和北卡罗来纳州最“成功”的政体。结论集中于北卡罗来纳州如何利用格鲁吉亚政权内部的弱点。

The paper investigates loan agreements between Nigeria and China to unpack the myths and media frenzy surrounding the Chinese loans in Nigeria. It examines the veracity of the sovereignty clause in loan agreements. Using data generated from both primary and secondary sources and content analysis, it was realized that the hitherto poor infrastructural facilities in many African states have been given considerable facelifts due to the availability of loans from the Chinese government to fund their infrastructural developments. In the last decade, several countries across the continent including Nigeria, Zambia, and Angola have benefited from the infrastructure-related funds from the Chinese government. However, nuanced concerns have been raised by citizens across Africa following an allegation of certain clauses in the China loans that purportedly waive state’s sovereign immunity in case of default thereby granting Chinese companies or government legal rights to automatically take over the same infrastructural assets. The research findings reflect the fact that the narratives on the debt trap are just mere speculation without substantial evidence to prove the adverse effects arising therefrom to the sovereignty and economic stability of Nigerian state. The study conclude that the outright generalization on the debt trap in Nigeria-China relation cannot hold water because only time can substantiate one’s affirmative position or otherwise. The study finally recommends on the improve cooperation between the two countries on the bases of mutual and win-win cooperation on strategic areas of development that will enhance the aspirations of the two countries.
本文调查了尼日利亚和中国之间的贷款协议,以解开围绕中国在尼日利亚贷款的神话和媒体狂热。考察贷款协议中主权条款的真实性。通过对一手和二手来源的数据以及内容分析,我们认识到,由于中国政府为基础设施建设提供了资金,许多非洲国家迄今为止较差的基础设施已经得到了相当大的改善。在过去的十年中,非洲大陆的几个国家,包括尼日利亚、赞比亚和安哥拉,都从中国政府的基础设施相关资金中受益。然而,在中国贷款中的某些条款据称在违约情况下放弃了国家主权豁免,从而赋予中国企业或政府自动接管相同基础设施资产的合法权利后,非洲各地的公民提出了细微的担忧。研究结果反映了这样一个事实,即关于债务陷阱的叙述仅仅是猜测,没有实质性的证据证明债务陷阱对尼日利亚国家主权和经济稳定产生的不利影响。该研究的结论是,对尼日利亚-中国关系中债务陷阱的全面概括是站不住脚的,因为只有时间才能证实一个人的肯定立场或其他立场。研究最后提出了两国在战略发展领域互利共赢的基础上加强合作的建议,这将增强两国的愿望。

James Buchanan, one of the founders of public choice theory and constitutional economics, began his career studying fiscal federalism in the doctoral program at the University of Chicago. This paper explores Buchanan’s early interest in Australian experiences with federation and intergovernmental grants as a guide to fiscal federalism in the United States. In his dissertation, Buchanan cited Australia in his arguments against the consolidation of the American states into larger regional governments. He also drew lessons from the early years of the Commonwealth Grant Commission for the intergovernmental grants that he proposed for the United States.
詹姆斯·布坎南(James Buchanan)是公共选择理论和宪法经济学的创始人之一,他在芝加哥大学攻读博士学位时开始研究财政联邦制。本文探讨了布坎南早期对澳大利亚联邦和政府间拨款的兴趣,以此作为美国财政联邦制的指导。在他的论文中,布坎南在反对将美国各州合并为更大的地区政府的论点中引用了澳大利亚。他还从联邦拨款委员会早年为美国提议的政府间赠款中吸取了教训。

Convergence across Subnational Regions of Bangladesh – What the Night Lights Data Say? 孟加拉国次国家区域的趋同——夜间灯光数据说明了什么?

We examine economic convergence among subnational regions of Bangladesh over the period 1992-2013. Absent the traditional gross domestic product (GDP) for subnational areas and building on the recent findings of luminosity literature, we use night lights intensity as a proxy for local economic activity to test the convergence hypothesis. Our results show the existence of both absolute and conditional convergence in night lights intensity, but with a very long half-lives of convergence. Moreover, the results also indicate sigma divergence. Together, these finding suggests that regional disparity is persistent and wide across the 544 upazilas (subdistricts) of Bangladesh. There is evidence that lagging upazilas are catching up with the better off ones, but many are also converging with their neighbors or peers (a phenomenon known as “club convergence”). Overall, consistent with the evidence from studies on regional inequality in Bangladesh, our results also indicate that there is an “east-west” divide in luminosity across the subnational units in Bangladesh.
我们研究了1992-2013年期间孟加拉国次国家区域之间的经济趋同。在缺乏地方地区传统的国内生产总值(GDP)的情况下,基于最近光度文献的发现,我们使用夜间灯光强度作为地方经济活动的代理来检验收敛假设。我们的结果表明,夜间光强度存在绝对收敛和条件收敛,但收敛的半衰期很长。此外,结果还表明sigma发散。综上所述,这些发现表明,在孟加拉国544个upazilas(街道)中,地区差距持续存在,而且范围很广。有证据表明,落后的upazilas正在赶上富裕的upazilas,但许多upazilas也在与邻居或同龄人趋同(这种现象被称为“俱乐部趋同”)。总体而言,与孟加拉国区域不平等研究的证据一致,我们的结果还表明,孟加拉国次国家单位的亮度存在“东西”差异。

The Effects of Local Government Financial Distress: Evidence from Toxic Loans 地方政府财政困境的影响:来自不良贷款的证据
Pub Date : 2021-02-09 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3782619
Julien Sauvagnat, B. Vallée
We examine the response from both local governments and their voters to a sudden increase in public debt burden. We exploit plausibly exogenous variation in the ex post cost of toxic loans, a notorious financial innovation adopted by a large number of local governments. A large increase in the debt burden of a local government results in a significant reduction in its investments, but leaves expenses and taxes mostly unchanged. This effect is dampened for local governments that are more politically contested. An increase in public debt reduces the likelihood of re-election for incumbent mayor and its political party. Overall, these findings support the existence of a public debt overhang effect, which binds differently depending on the political context as contested mayors strive to maintain investments.
我们考察了地方政府及其选民对公共债务负担突然增加的反应。我们利用了有毒贷款事后成本看似合理的外生变化,这是许多地方政府采用的一种臭名昭著的金融创新。地方政府债务负担的大幅增加导致其投资的大幅减少,但支出和税收基本保持不变。这种影响在政治上更有争议的地方政府受到抑制。公共债务的增加降低了现任市长及其政党连任的可能性。总的来说,这些研究结果支持公共债务过剩效应的存在,这种影响取决于政治背景,因为有争议的市长努力维持投资。

Economic Effects of Recent Experiences of Federalism: Analysis of the Regionalization Process in Spain 联邦制近期经验的经济效应:西班牙区域化进程分析

Setting limits on government action is critical to economic development. Some forms of government organization, such as market-preserving federalism, seem effective to protect property rights in the long term with good results for economic efficiency. Spain endowed its regions with “Statutes of autonomy” in the 1980s thus moving from a centralized to a decentralized form of government. It renewed and expanded some of the statutes in the 2000s. This article investigates whether these two waves of regionalization, which had their own characteristics in each region, had led to positive effects on economic performance. Using a novel autonomous region/country-matched balanced sample for the period 1950-2016, we apply the synthetic control method and compare the economic growth trajectories of Spanish regions with their synthetic control groups not affected by the regionalization process. We show that the first wave of “Statutes of autonomy” had a positive but temporary economic growth impact. By contrast, the second wave of regionalization of the 2000’s is associated with a negative growth impact.
限制政府行为对经济发展至关重要。某些形式的政府组织,如维护市场的联邦制,似乎能够有效地长期保护产权,并对经济效率产生良好的影响。西班牙在20世纪80年代赋予其地区“自治法”,从而从中央集权的政府形式转变为分权的政府形式。它在2000年代更新和扩大了一些法规。本文考察了这两波区域化浪潮是否对经济绩效产生了积极影响,这两波区域化浪潮在每个地区都有自己的特点。利用1950-2016年期间一个新的自治区/国家匹配平衡样本,我们采用综合控制方法,比较了西班牙地区与不受区域化进程影响的综合对照组的经济增长轨迹。我们发现,第一波“自治法规”对经济增长产生了积极但暂时的影响。相比之下,2000年代的第二波区域化浪潮对经济增长产生了负面影响。

Restoring its territorial integrity, the Republic of Azerbaijan has entered a new era. The state authorities have to carry out restructure and infrastructure building tasks in the liberated territories to provide energy, utilities, transport infrastructure, and create conditions for life and business of citizens returning to their native lands. Therefore, one of the main features of the state budget for 2021 is the creation of financial security to implement the aforementioned honorable and responsible tasks. Along with their implementation, the budget for 2021 envisages the creation of financial guarantees for further improvement of the people's welfare, sustainable economic development, and implementation of state programs.
阿塞拜疆共和国恢复了领土完整,进入了一个新时代。国家当局必须在解放区进行改造和基础设施建设任务,提供能源、公用事业、交通基础设施,为公民返回故土的生活和经营创造条件。因此,2021年国家预算的主要特点之一是为实现上述光荣和负责任的任务创造财政保障。在实施的同时,2021年预算设想为进一步改善人民福利、经济可持续发展和实施国家计划提供财政保障。

The Impact of EITC on Education, Labor Market Trajectories, and Inequalities EITC对教育、劳动力市场轨迹和不平等的影响
Pub Date : 2020-12-18 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3751443

As a complement to the federal EITC, some states offer their own EITC, typically calculated as a percentage of the federal EITC. In this paper, we analyze the effect of state EITC on education using policy discontinuities at U.S. state borders. Our estimates reveal that an increase in state EITC leads to a statistically significant drop in high school completion. We then use a life-cycle matching model with directed search and endogenous educational choices, search intensities, hirings, hours worked, and separations to investigate the effects of EITC on the labor market in the long run and along the transitional dynamics. We show that a tax credit targeted at low-wage (and low-skilled) workers reduces the relative return to schooling, thereby generating a powerful disincentive to pursue long-term studies. In the long run, this results in an increase in the proportion of low-skilled workers in the economy, which may have important implications in terms of employment, productivity, and income inequalities.
作为联邦EITC的补充,一些州提供自己的EITC,通常以联邦EITC的百分比计算。在本文中,我们使用美国州边界的政策不连续来分析州EITC对教育的影响。我们的估计显示,国家EITC的增加导致高中毕业率在统计上显著下降。然后,我们使用一个包含定向搜索和内生教育选择、搜索强度、招聘、工作时间和离职的生命周期匹配模型来研究EITC对劳动力市场的长期影响和过渡动态。我们表明,针对低工资(和低技能)工人的税收抵免降低了受教育的相对回报,从而对追求长期学习产生了强大的抑制作用。从长远来看,这会导致低技能工人在经济中所占比例的增加,这可能对就业、生产率和收入不平等产生重要影响。

Local government system is the most efficient administrative unit to directly observe and deliver the basic needs of public in any country. Millennium Development Goals specific to education and health should also come under the prerogatives of local government based on their success indicators. But in Pakistan, MDG’s have not been treated by politically and administratively decentralized local governments. This qualitative research study investigates the possible role of local government as per perception of real actors, which could have been played in augmenting the scope of primary education and health. The cross-sectional data was collected through interviews from officials working in education, health, and local government departments. Purposive sampling technique helped to select participants who have witnessed the changes in governing system before and after promulgation of LGO, 2001. Semantic approach of thematic analysis was used to analyze the Qualitative data. Analysis discovered the overlooked merits of decentralized local governments in regards to indicators defined by MDG’s. Analysis also found the reasons that hindered the process of obtaining the MDG’s specific to education and health, and factors to improve service delivery in both of these sectors. More than 80% of respondents have validated the unconditional need of politically decentralized local governments to deliver basic needs of public.
地方政府体制是任何国家最能直接观察和传递公众基本需求的有效行政单位。具体到教育和卫生的千年发展目标也应根据其成功指标由地方政府负责。但在巴基斯坦,在政治和行政上分散的地方政府并没有处理千年发展目标。这项定性研究调查了地方政府根据实际行为者的看法可能发挥的作用,这些作用本可以在扩大初等教育和保健范围方面发挥作用。横断面数据是通过采访教育、卫生和地方政府部门的官员收集的。有目的的抽样方法有助于选择在2001年LGO颁布前后见证了治理制度变化的参与者。采用主题分析的语义方法对定性数据进行分析。分析发现,在千年发展目标确定的指标方面,分散的地方政府的优点被忽视了。分析还发现了阻碍实现千年发展目标具体目标的原因,以及改善这两个部门的服务提供的因素。80%以上的受访者认为,政治上权力下放的地方政府绝对需要满足公众的基本需求。

More than 80% of respondents have validated the unconditional need of politically decentralized local governments to deliver basic needs of public.","PeriodicalId":221919,"journal":{"name":"ERN: National","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117138404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On July 28, 2020, Chad F. Wolf, the Acting Secretary for Homeland Security, issued a memorandum freezing new initial enrollments into DACA. This paper estimates the economic impacts of this enrollment freeze, on the educational attainment, earnings and federal tax payments of the affected DACA population – those who have turned or will turn 15 after Sept. 2017 – and on state and local tax revenues.

We construct two models of the affected population and its economic behaviors, the first assuming DACA enrollments are immediately reopened, and the second assuming new DACA enrollments remain frozen. We project that over the 2021-30 decade, the youngest members of the DACA population would lose about $6.4 billion in income and productivity, the federal government would lose roughly $2.8 billion in tax revenue, and state and local governments would lose about $705 million in tax revenue.

Since the primary impact of the DACA initial enrollment freeze will be to reduce investment in education, which will in turn sharply reduce these young people’s lifetime earnings profiles, those losses would expand dramatically over time, to about $19.7 billion in lost income and productivity, $7.4 billion in lost federal tax revenue, and $2.0 billion in lost state and local tax revenues in the 2031-40 decade.
2020年7月28日,国土安全部代理部长查德·沃尔夫(Chad F. Wolf)发布了一份备忘录,冻结了新的DACA初始登记。本文估计了这一招生冻结的经济影响,对受影响的DACA人口(2017年9月以后年满或将年满15岁的人)的教育程度、收入和联邦税收的影响,以及对州和地方税收的影响。我们构建了受影响人口及其经济行为的两个模型,第一个假设DACA登记立即重新开放,第二个假设新的DACA登记保持冻结。我们预计,在2021年至2030年的十年中,DACA人口中最年轻的成员将损失约64亿美元的收入和生产力,联邦政府将损失约28亿美元的税收,州和地方政府将损失约7.05亿美元的税收。由于DACA最初冻结入学的主要影响将是减少对教育的投资,这将反过来急剧减少这些年轻人的终身收入状况,随着时间的推移,这些损失将急剧扩大,在2031- 2040年的十年中,收入和生产力损失约为197亿美元,联邦税收损失为74亿美元,州和地方税收损失为20亿美元。
