Propensão a consumir no laboratório comportamental: um estudo dos efeitos da renda sobre consumo e poupança usando ratos como sujeitos experimentaisAna Carolina Trousdell Franceschini 01 August 2012 (has links)
A Economia Comportamental sob a orientação da Análise do Comportamento consiste em uma área de pesquisa que aplica princípios econômicos para exame de questões comportamentais. Uma de suas concentrações temáticas está voltada ao comportamento de consumir. Nas Ciências Econômicas, uma das principais variáveis identificadas como controladoras do consumo é a renda pessoal. Uma das ferramentas econômicas usadas para descrever esta relação de controle é a Propensão Marginal a Consumir, e o presente experimento propõe um procedimento para reproduzir esta ferramenta com sujeitos não-humanos. Neste intento, oito ratos Wistar foram expostos a uma contingência na qual o número de leds acesos em um painel sinalizava o total de reforçadores disponíveis por sessão (supostamente, uma analogia a renda pessoal). O consumo foi medido pelo volume de reforços liberados em FR10 e pelo número de leds apagados por sessão, uma vez que a liberação de p reforços apagava um led do painel. Os leds do painel que eventualmente não fossem apagados em uma sessão eram preservados para sessões posteriores, permitindo o aumento da renda pessoal dos sujeitos por sessão (supostamente, uma analogia a poupança). Além do acúmulo de poupança, a renda pessoal dos sujeitos variou neste procedimento por manipulações diretas do experimentador, consistindo assim a variável independente. Foram usados dois tipos de reforços, em duas etapas experimentais diferentes: água, um reforço essencial (Etapa 1) e uma solução de 10% sacarose, um reforço supérfluo (Etapa 2). Os resultados mostraram que a variação do número de leds acesos no painel (variações da renda pessoal) produziu variações lineares no consumo, compatíveis com as previsões da Propensão Marginal a Consumir. As principais variáveis foram o nível de privação, o tipo de reforço e o número de sujeitos. Discute-se a adição de novas variáveis experimentais para aprofundar-se no exame da relação entre renda pessoal e consumo / Behavioral Economics under the behavior analysis orientation is an area of research that applies economic principles to analytical-behavioral issues. One of its main research topics are consumption behaviors. In Economics, one of the main controlling variables of consumption is personal income. One of the economic tools used to describe this controlling relation is the Marginal Propensity to Consume, and the present study proposes an experimental procedure to reproduce this tool with non-human subjects. To this purpose, eight rats were exposed to a contingency in which the number of lit LEDs in a panel signaled the total number of reinforcers available per session (supposedly an analogy to personal income). Consumption was measured by the volume of liquids released under FR10 and the number of LEDs switched off per session (since the release of \"p\" reinforcements switched one LED off in the panel). The LEDs that were still lit after the session ended were preserved for later sessions, allowing the increase of personal income per session (supposedly, an analogy to savings). Besides the accumulation of savings, personal income varied by direct manipulation, and was the independent variable of this experiment. Two types of reinforcements were used in two different experimental phases: water, an essential good (Phase 1) and a 10% sucrose solution, a superfluous good (Phase 2). The results showed that the variation in the number of LEDs lit in the panel (changes in personal income) produced linear increases in consumption, consistent with the predictions of the Marginal Propensity to Consume. The main variables were the level of deprivation, the type of reinforcement and the number of subjects of each group. New experimental variables should be added to deepen the examination of this relationship between personal income and consumption

Personal Income Tax reform to secure the South African revenue base using a micro-simulation tax modelVan Heerden, Yolande January 2014 (has links)
The purpose of the study is to analyse tax reform measures to secure the tax revenue
base, in particular the personal income tax structure of South Africa. The main objectives
are: firstly, to identify personal income tax reform interventions so as to align the personal
income tax structure in South Africa with international best practices. Secondly, the impact
of tax reforms on revenue collection, given optimal economic growth levels, is determined.
Thirdly, to determine the best tax reform scenario which could minimise the individual tax
burden and maximise its efficiency. Lastly, the impact of the suggested tax reforms on
fairness as a principle of a good tax system is evaluated.
A static micro-simulation model is developed from survey data and used to simulate the
proposed tax reforms. Different tax reforms were selected from a study of international tax
reform trends and an analysis of the South African personal income tax structure. The
literature provides clear margins for the structuring of tax bands and threshold margins.
Tax elasticities are estimated in order to explain the methodology for determining the
impact of tax reforms. These elasticities include the elasticities for determining the
progressiveness of the PIT structure, determining the deadweight loss (tax efficiency) and
also to determine the optimal levels of taxes and economic growth and revenue
maximisation. The different tax reform scenarios take the economy closer to or further
away from optimum growth and optimum revenue.
The results show that as far as marginal rates are concerned, a lowering in rates to levels
on par with South Africa’s peers offers potential for improved levels of efficiency with the
tax burden equal to or even below the optimal tax ratio from an economic growth point of
view. Although such a ratio is below the optimal revenue ratio the results suggest that the
loss in revenue could be minimised over time through a resultant increase in productivity
and economic growth.
By adjusting the non-taxable thresholds and taxable income bands according to the
algorithm defined in the best practice scenario, more taxpayers will be included into the tax
net but with a net decrease in tax liability. As a result the tax/GDP level also declines to a
level below the optimal growth level but tax efficiency increases. The resultant loss in
revenue will have to be recouped through increases in other than individual income taxes
but improved levels of tax morality because of the lower margins for each tax band and
increased productivity might also contribute to increased revenue performance. The tax
structure is also more progressive which contributes towards the “fairness” of the tax
regime.
Regarding tax expenditure reforms, the analysis shows that medical tax credits offer a
more equitable form of relief than medical deductions which substantiate this kind of
reform as already implemented by government and which is to be fully phased in over the
next couple of years. Tax liability is slightly lower in the case of medical credits compared
to medical deductions but the difference is only marginal as far as net revenue and optimal
growth and efficiency is concerned. However, a medical credit which increases disposable
income at the lower end of the scale and discriminates against higher income groups also
improves progressiveness of the tax regime and therefore the fairness thereof accordingly.
Finally, the demographic impact of the suggested reforms also shows some important
trends. Better education improves skills levels which seems to be positively correlated to
taxable income levels. As far as age is concerned, the analysis shows that a substantial
number of taxpayers in the categories below the age of 24 and above 65 fall within the
lower taxable income groups. Those are also the most vulnerable groups from a
subsistence point of view. Thus, tax reform that specifically improves their levels of
disposable income should be prioritised in order to address equity and fairness as objectives for a “good” tax structure. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / gm2014 / Economics / Unrestricted

Komparace základu daně z příjmů fyzických osob a vyměřovacích základů sociálního pojistného u zaměstnanců / Comparison of the income tax base and social insurance assessment base of employeesMikolášová, Martina January 2008 (has links)
Diploma thesis aims to identify, describe and compare the level of current similarity between the base for calculating tax on personal income and base of assessment of social insurance in Great Britain, Ireland, Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Firstly, the thesis generally describes systems of integration of personal income tax and social insurance, the various stages of integration and the arguments for and against integration. Furthermore it describes systems of income tax and social insurance in the individual countries and rules for creating the tax base and the assessment base in these countries. In the last chapter there is comparison between the tax base and the assessment base in each country, and comparison of these two bases between all four countries. At the end of this chapter, there is a proposition of possible changes and suggestions for the Czech Republic, inspired by the tax systems of other described countries. The conclusion is, that there is a convergence of rules for calculating the income tax and social insurance assessment base and the largest differences between these two bases are in the Czech Republic.

Komparace vývoje zdanění práce a nákladů zaměstnavatelů v EU / Comparison of evolution of taxation of labour and employers' costs in EUCharvát, Jakub January 2013 (has links)
Comparison of evolution of employers' costs and rate of taxation of labour is the subject of this thesis. Employers' costs are considered wages and social security contributions. Amount of these costs was discovered by Amadeus database which contains data published in companies' annual reports and in their financial statements. Analysis was performed with data about 23 EU countries which were available. Implicit tax rate on labour and Average tax wedge were used for quantification of the rate of taxation of labour. Implicit tax rate on labour is published by Eurostat and Average tax wedge is compiled by OECD. The analysis was performed with data about 19 OECD countries of total 23 countries which are compared. Finding of existence of corresponding trend between evolution of employers' costs and evolution of rate of taxation of labour is goal of this thesis. Existence of that trend was not found for most compared countries between years 2007 and 2012.

Explaining changes in post-apartheid income and earnings inequalityHundenborn, Ines Janina 24 August 2021 (has links)
This doctoral thesis analyses the changes in income inequality in post-apartheid South Africa. The thesis adds to the existing literature by explaining the underlying causes of the changes in observed income inequality. As such, this thesis applies different decomposition methods to the Gini coefficient. In the analysis of household income sources, traditional static decompositions are supplemented by applying micro-simulations that allow for a dynamic decomposition of changes in income sources reported in household surveys. The results corroborate previous findings of the significant contribution of labour market incomes and governmen grants. However, the application of advanced dynamic methods highlights the effects of changes in other factors, such as investment income and the role of employed household members, which have previously received less attention. Further study of household survey data and a unique set of tax administration data enabled a decomposition of the Gini coefficient of taxable income to investigate the effect of high earners on income inequality and the accuracy of capturing them in household surveys. This analysis highlights a significant weighting issues of high earners in the latest wave of the household survey data. Therefore, when combining the two types of data sets, a significant decrease in overall inequality of taxable income can be found between 2011 and 2014. The results ascertain the vast differences between the top and the bottom of the income distribution and concrete policies addressing both sides of the issue need to be implemented in order to overcome persisting income inequality. Finally, the strong effects of labour market incomes on overall income inequality warrant further investigation. Therefore, changes in earnings inequality are decomposed to assess the effect of changes in the labour market. The application of micro-simulations thereby allows to decompose the changes in earnings inequality into ‘price effect' and ‘endowment effect' but also to assess the effect of changes in labour market participation, employment, occupational structure and unobserved characteristics. The results show that key drivers of an increase in earnings inequality between 1993 and 2012 were changes in the endowments of working age individuals. This effect was partially counteracted by the price effect. The findings show persisting discrepancies between male and female employment in the labour market and the ongoing marginalization particularly of African women which highlights the need for a revision of existing affirmative action laws and their implementation. The National Development Plan offers several strategies for more inclusive growth for South Africa, however, government is already falling behind with its implementation. Therefore, policy makers need to re-examine the efficiency of current social spending and labour laws in order to set the right growth path for the South African economy. The methods utilized throughout this thesis harmonise different sources of information and enable an integrated analysis of the dynamics of the South African income distribution. The static and dynamic decompositions make use of the 1993 household survey of the Project for Statistics on Living Standards and Development (PSLSD) and the 2008 and 2014 National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS). The assessment of high earners is performed by comparing tax administration data provided by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) for the 2010 and 2014 tax years with household survey data from NIDS in 2011 and 2014. Finally, the decomposition of earnings inequality is carried out using data sets from the Post-Apartheid Labour Market Series (PALMS) between 1993 and 2012.

Daň z příjmů fyzických osob se zaměřením na osvobozená plnění a možnosti snížení daně / Personal income tax with the focus on tax exemptions and possibilities of tax reductionsAbrahamová, Dana January 2019 (has links)
Personal income tax with the focus on tax exemptions and possibilities of tax reductions This thesis deals with the problematics of the personal income tax. The focus of this thesis is on possibilities of reductions of the tax or the tax base and on tax exemptions. The thesis is divided into six chapters. The first chapter explains the general concept of taxes, the history of taxes and the characteristics of the tax law. The author devoted the second chapter to the income tax, especially to its characteristics and its statutory regulation. Nowadays all regulation of the personal income tax is contained in one act, Act no. 586/1992 Coll., Income Tax Act. However, in the past the situation was different and therefore it is necessary to mention also the previous regulation, which was scattered into several acts and other legal regulations. The present Income Tax Act has been valid and effective for almost thirty years and it has been amended to a greater or smaller degree several times. The author mentions these amendments in connection with particular issues throughout the whole thesis in order to compare the present and the previous regulation. The third chapter deals with the theoretical view of taxes. The author writes about the characteristics of taxes in general and also about the special...

Three Essays on Big-Box Retailers and Regional EconomicsPeralta, Denis 01 May 2016 (has links)
The big-box retail stores such as Wal-Mart and Target have become the focus of many studies researching their impacts on local economic outcomes. This dissertation studies three related topics: (i) the dynamic interrelationship among the presence of the big-box stores, retail wage, and employment, (ii) the impact of the big-box retailers on personal income growth, and (iii) the dynamic interrelationship between the presence of big-box retailers and personal income growth. The research draws important insights with potential implications for regional developers and policy makers.
The first essay analyzes the dynamic relationship among the presence of the big-box retailers, retail wage, and employment at the county level for 1986-2005. A vector autoregression model is applied on panel data. Impulse response functions and variance decompositions are also presented. Results suggest that the presence of big-box stores decreases retail wages and increases retail employment. Retail employment has a higher impact on the retailers’ location decision than retail wage. The results also show that the presence of Wal-Mart drives the above-mentioned effects, while the presence of Target is insignificant.
The second essay investigates the impact from the presence of big-box retailers on personal income growth in U.S. counties between 2000 and 2005 - based on neoclassical growth models of cross-country income convergence. Results suggest that counties having both Wal-Mart and Target stores experienced slower growth in personal income. After controlling for spatial autocorrelation, similar to the first essay, the effect of Wal-Mart’s presence on personal income growth is dominant in terms of statistical significance relative to Target’s.
The third essay expands the second essay and investigates the dynamic interaction between the presence of big-box retailers and personal income growth over time at the county level for the period 1987-2005, using a panel vector autoregression model. For this analysis, the earning shares of natural resources and manufacturing sectors are included - assuming that all the variables are endogenous to one another. The findings indicate that big-box retailers negatively affect personal income growth, which is consistent with the second essay. However, personal income growth has an insignificant effect on the big-box retailers’ location decision.
