An expression for the La er curve for high incomes is derived, assuming a constant Pareto parameter and elasticity of taxable income. The peak of this La er curve is given by the well-known Saez (2001) expression. Microsimulations using Swedish population data show that the simulated curve matches the theoretically derived La er curve well, suggesting that the analytical expression is not too m...

We develop a unifying framework for optimal income taxation in multi-activity economies with general production technologies. Agents are characterized by an N-dimensional skill vector that captures intrinsic abilities in N activities. The private return to each activity depends on individual skill and an aggregate activity-specific return, which is a general function of the economy-wide distrib...

Growing availability of data has enabled decision-makers to tailor choices at the individual level. This involves learning a model of decision rewards conditional on individual-specific covariates or features. Recently, contextual bandits have been introduced as a framework to study these online decision-making problems. However, when the space of features is high-dimensional, existing literatu...

The future of U.S. transport energy requirements and emissions is uncertain. Transport policy research has explored a number of scenarios to better understand the future characteristics of U.S. light-duty vehicles. Deterministic scenario analysis is, however, unable to identify the impact of uncertainty on the future U.S. vehicle fleet emissions and energy use. Variables determining the future ...

the renal pelvis and calyces obtaining special views, could sider the possibility of Erdheim–Chester disease. Another distinctive feature is prominent extension of the fibrotic visualize the stent as an echogenic double-line structure in the renal calyx (Figure 1C) which could have been easily process within the renal pelvis and throughout the renal capsula, while mid-line structures including ...
