Models of international tax competition typically assume the existence of a benevolent government. This paper presents a model which integrates the view of government as source of ine ciency with an analysis of distorting taxes on capital investment, savings and labor income in a common theoretical framework.

Some authors recommend the use of an additional test for detecting increases in the spread, when using a control chart for individual observations. We examine this recommendation both in a practical situation and theoretically. Both studies show that the additional test gives somewhat more power for detecting a 25% increase of the process variation. For nearly all other deviations from the in-c...

If architecture representation is the problem (P), and the UML is the solution (S), how do we get from P to S? In this paper, I introduce the idea of viewpoint modeling as a part of the answer. A viewpoint, as defined in IEEE 1471, defines a set of architectural concerns and the resources needed to address those concerns. A viewpoint gives an architect the resources with which to construct an a...
