Asset managers continue to prepare physical infrastructure investments needed to accommodate the emerging technologies, namely vehicle connectivity, electrification, and automation. The provision of new infrastructure and modification of existing infrastructure is expected to incur a significant amount of capital investment. Secondly, with increasing EV and CAV operations, the revenues typically earned from vehicle registrations and fuel tax are expected to change due to changing demand for vehicle ownership and amount of travel, respectively. This research estimated (i) the changes in highway expenditures in an era of ECAV operations, (ii) the net change in highway revenues that can be expected to arise from ECAV operations, and (iii) the changes in user equity across the highway user groups (vehicle classes). In assessing the changes in highway expenditures, the research developed a model to predict the cost of highway infrastructure stewardship based on current and/ or future system usage. <div><br></div><div>The results of the research reveal that CAVs are expected to significantly change the travel patterns, leading to increased system usage which in turn results in increased wear and tear on highway infrastructure. This, with the need for new infrastructure to support and accommodate the new technologies is expected to result in increased highway expenditure. At the same time, CAVs are expected to have significantly improved fuel economy as compared to their human driven counterparts, leading to a decrease in fuel consumption per vehicle, resulting in reduced fuel revenues. Furthermore, the prominence of EVs is expected to exacerbate this problem. This thesis proposed a revision to the current user fee structure to address these impacts. This revision contains two major parts designed to address the system efficiency and equity in the near and long term. For the near term, this thesis recommended a variable tax scheme under which each vehicle class pays a different fuel tax rate. This ensures that both equity and system efficiency are improved during the transition to ECAV. In the long term, this thesis recommended supplementing the fuel tax with a distance based VMT tax, applicable to electric vehicles.<br></div>

This study is based on interviews with local business owners in the Brazilian municipality of Maricá, Rio deJaneiro, conducted in November 2021. The municipality receives royalties from the rich oil reserves that werefound in the bottom of the pre-salt area of the Atlantic Ocean, and has implemented a basic income programcalled Renda Básica de Cidadania (RBC). The RBC benefit is paid through a social digital currency via the localcommunity bank, which is a model developed by the Conjunto Palmeiras in Fortaleza that has spread throughoutBrazil as the ‘Palmas model’. The Palmas model does not include a basic income but uses community banks todevelop a ‘solidarity economy’ with a local social currency, whose circulation is restricted to within thecommunity. This thesis discusses how the RBC interacts with the Palmas model and considers potentialproblems and solutions arising in the case of Maricá in relation to local economic development, political trustand political participation. The study uses previous research about basic income, social currencies, solidarityeconomies, political trust and political participation to look at how public institutions and civil society interactwith the local market in Maricá. The study also investigates how this relationship is affected by the basic incomeprogram and by the move toward a solidarity economy with a local social currency.The study finds that the business owners who were interviewed participated in the implementation of the RBCthrough their usage of the social currency Mumbuca. They have accepted the social currency and the use ofMumbuca is well consolidated and normalized as a currency among the local business owners interviewed.They do not participate in any more active way in the community bank, but the study shows that through theiruse of the currency they are important actors for the consolidation of a solidarity economy in the municipality ofMaricá. The study shows that the respondents did not see the RBC as a basic income, but as a cash-transfer tothe poor. The majority of respondents believed that the implementation of the RBC and the social currency hadcontributed to the local economic development of the municipality, but that the main factor in the localeconomic development was the wealth of the municipality. The study shows that the respondents' level of trusttoward public institutions was considerably high.

В российской современной экономической теории существует большое количество разнообразных мнений по определению дефиниции «финансовый результат». Некоторые из них похожи, какие-то отличаются. Все это связано с многогранностью исследуемой категории. Но считаем, что в системе бухгалтерского учета категории «доходы», расходы» и «финансовый результат» в российской системе бухгалтерского учета увязаны четко: финансовый результат определяется как разница между доходами и расходами экономического субъекта. Для коммерческих организаций предлагается детализировать информацию по доходам и расходам по обычным видам деятельности по направлениям деятельности. Указанные нововведения в целом позволят выполнить требования ПБУ в отношении раскрытия информации в бухгалтерской (финансовой) отчетности организаций. Предлагаемый учетный регистр, разработанный по результатам анализа на основе структурированного рабочего планов счетов по учету доходов и расходов по обычным видам деятельности, наш взгляд, улучшит качество учетно-аналитической работы, позволит повысить обоснованность принимаемых управленческих решений, эффективность деятельности организации в целом. / In Russian modern economic theory, there are many different opinions on the definition of "financial result". Some of them are similar, some are different. All this is due to the versatility of the category under study. But we believe that in the accounting system of the category "income", "expenses" and "financial result" in the Russian accounting system are clearly linked: the financial result is defined as the difference between income and expenses of an economic entity. For commercial organizations, it is proposed to detail information on income and expenses for ordinary activities in the areas of activity. These innovations will generally meet the requirements of the PBU in relation to the disclosure of information in the accounting (financial) statements of organizations. The proposed accounting register, developed on the basis of the results of the analysis on the basis of structured working plans of accounts for the accounting of income and expenses for ordinary activities, in our opinion, will improve the quality of accounting and analytical work, will improve the validity of management decisions, the effectiveness of the organization as a whole.

This study examines the relationship between financial conditions and on-field success among 36 prominent European football clubs from 2010 to 2017. The research employs panel regression analysis to explore how clubs’ financial indicators such as wage costs, increasing revenues, debt-equity ratios, and return on assets correlate with their sporting performance. The findings suggest a substantial association between these financial factors and the clubs’ achievements. In particular, the results emphasize the importance of wage costs and increasingrevenues in boosting a club’s capacity to invest in high-quality players, thereby improving sporting outcomes. The presence of a top globally ranked player also has a significant impacton a club’s performance. These findings carry important policy implications for club management and governing bodies, particularly in revising wage regulations and promoting vigilant financial management for sustainable growth and competitiveness.

Na presente dissertação está sendo analisada a possibilidade de vinculação da receita de IPTU para aplicação ao acesso à moradia, via proposta legislativa lege ferenda, lei ainda não vigente, pois atualmente esta vinculação de impostos a serviços é vedada pela Constituição Federal Brasileira de 1988. Com a vinculação do IPTU à moradia, haveria a possibilidade de ingresso de receita específica para aplicação na redução do déficit habitacional e em regularização fundiária, consagrando, dessa forma, a função social do IPTU. Este estudo examina ainda: 1. A possibilidade de existência de uma hierarquia imposta pelo inciso IV do art. 167 da Constituição Federal que permite a vinculação de receita de impostos para as ações e serviços públicos de saúde, manutenção e desenvolvimento do ensino, realização de atividades da administração tributária e a prestação de garantias às operações de crédito por antecipação de receitas frente aos direitos fundamentais do artigo 6º da Magna Carta. 2. O artigo 6º da Constituição Federal de 1988 contém o rol de direitos sociais: educação, saúde, alimentação, trabalho, moradia, lazer, segurança, previdência social, proteção à maternidade, infância e assistência aos desamparados, no entanto, sói ocorrer, em administrações públicas, a aplicação dos recursos orçamentários em serviços públicos em grau de desigualdade, em virtude da vedação da vinculação de impostos a serviços. 3. A formação juspositivista na Legislação Tributária brasileira; 4. A realidade do Plano Municipal de Habitação de Interesse Social de Porto Alegre que apresenta o diagnóstico do problema habitacional local e os escassos recursos financeiros disponíveis aplicáveis em moradia. 5. A análise da Legislação municipal vigente de Porto Alegre nas áreas Urbanística, Tributária e financeira, formando um sistema legislativo integrado ao contexto legal da cidade. Em vista dessas características, esta investigação estuda a viabilidade da regularização fundiária e de redução do déficit habitacional com o redirecionamento da arrecadação tributária através da destinação do tributo municipal, IPTU, buscando a função social do tributo e o referencial de justiça. São essas, portanto, as especificidades desta dissertação. / In the present dissertation the possibility of binding the revenues from IPTU (Municipal Property Tax) to invest in the access to housing is analyzed, through a legislative initiative, lege ferenda, law not in effect yet, considering binding tax revenues to services is currently forbidden by the 1988 Brazilian Federal Constitution. By binding the IPTU to housing, there would be the possibility to use specific tax revenue to apply in the reduction of housing deficit and land regularization, and thus consecrating the social function of IPTU. This study also examines: 1.The possibility of existence of a hierarchy imposed by the sub-paragraph IV of art. 167 of the Federal Constitution which allows the binding of tax revenues to public health actions and services, education maintenance and development, fulfillment of tax management activities and as warranties to credit operations by anticipating revenues in order to meet the fundamental rights of art. 6 of the Federal Constitution. 2. The article 6 of the 1988 Federal Constitution contains the list of social rights: education, health, nutrition, labor, housing, leisure, safety, social security, protection to motherhood, infancy and assistance to the unemployed. However, in public administrations it is common to apply the budget resources at inequality levels, due to the prohibition to bind taxes to services. 3. The legal positive formation in the Brazilian tax legislation; 4. The reality of the Municipal Habitation Plan of Social Interest in Porto Alegre which presents the diagnosis of the habitation problem and the scarce financial resources available for investment in housing. 5. The analysis of municipal legislation in effect in Porto Alegre for the urban, tax and financial areas, forming a legislation system integrated to the city’s legal context. Considering these characteristics, this investigation studies the viability of the land regularization and reduction of housing deficit by redirecting the tax revenues through the destination of the municipal tax, IPTU, having as objective the fulfillment of the social function of the tax and the reference of justice. These are the particularities of this dissertation.
