I n the past decades, the effect of different tax amendments on various economic issues has been studied. The majority of these studies have avoided considering shadow economy as part of the calculation and analysis, and an issue, which has received little attention, is the relationship between green tax reforms and shadow economy, as for informal labor, which is well-connected to un...

A basic tenet in elementary microeconomics is tax incidence equivalence. This tenet holds that the burden of a unit tax on buyers and sellers is independent of who actually pays the tax. Recently, the empirical validity of tax incidence equivalence has been brought into question. In this paper, using competitive laboratory markets, I test both tax incidence equivalence and an analogous theorem ...

This study assesses the cost of achieving pollution reductions using environmental taxes relative to using non-revenue-raising instruments. The cost of tax exemptions with or without employment constraints is also examined. Using a computable general equilibrium model of the Swedish economy a wide range of emission reduction target levels are examined. The study finds that the reduction of CO2 ...

To study the involvement of immune responses against Tax of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) in the growth of and gene suppression in Tax-expressing tumor cells in vivo, we established a model system involving C57BL/6J mice and a syngeneic lymphoma cell line, EL4. When mice were immunized by DNA-based immunization with Tax expression plasmids, solid tumor formation upon subcutaneous ...

Few studies have been performed to use the detailed healthy eating index (HEI) to estimate consumer demand for diet quality. In this article, we apply household production theory to systematically estimate consumer demand for diet quality using the HEI developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The results show that consumers have insufficient consumption of food containing dark green and...

In order to solve the optimization problem of logistics distribution system for fresh food, this paper provides a low-carbon and environmental protection point of view, based on the characteristics of perishable products, and combines with the overall optimization idea of cold chain logistics distribution network, where the green and low-carbon location-routing problem (LRP) model in cold chain...
