متن کاملTaxes and quality: A market-level analysis
A conventional assumption of product homogeneity when the commodity of interest is actually heterogeneous will lead to errors in an analysis of the incidence of policies, such as taxes. In this article, an equilibrium displacement model is used to derive analytical solutions for price, quantity, and quality effects of ad valorem and per unit taxes. The results show how parameters determine the ...

Qualitative analytical results show that wage and employment subsidies increase employment, especially of low skill workers, and also increase wages. A job creation or hiring subsidy reduces unemployment durat...

The reduced form estimates are meaningful in two ways: first, they provide estimates of the effect of an important public policy tool--alcohol taxes--and second, they can be used to evaluate hypotheses about the structural effects of alcohol use on labor market outcomes. Estimates indic...
