Coase V. Pigou: A Still Difficult Debate, Enrico Baffi
Coase V. Pigou: A Still Difficult Debate, Enrico Baffi
enrico baffi
This paper examines the positions of Coase and Pigou about the problem of the externalities. From the reading of their most two important works it appears that Coase has a more relevant preference for a evaluation of efficiency at the total, while Pigou, with some exception, is convinced that is possible to reach marginal efficiency through taxes or responsibility. It’s interesting that Coase, who has elaborated the famous theorem, is convinced that is not possible to reach the efficiency at the margin every time and that sometimes is necessary a valuation at the total, that tells us which solution is …

The Political Feasibility Of A Global E-Commerce Tax, Rifat Azam Dr.

In its strongest statement yet on progressive tax reform, the UN has recently called on countries to introduce a global carbon tax and financial transaction tax (FTT). In my recent article entitled Global Taxation of Cross Border E-commerce Income (31 Virginia Tax Review 639 (Spring 2012)), I proposed to impose a global e-commerce tax on cross border e-commerce income by a new supranational institution, The Global Tax Fund, to be established by countries through international treaty. According to my proposal, the global e-commerce tax revenues shall be spent to fund global public goods. I argued normatively that the proposed regime …

From the reading of their most two important works it appears that Coase has a more relevant preference for a evaluation of efficiency at the total, while Pigou, with some exception, is convinced that is possible to reach marginal efficiency through taxes or compensation. It’s interesting that Coase, who has elaborated the famous theorem, is convinced that is not important to reach the efficiency at the margin every time and that sometimes is necessary a valuation at the total, that tells us which solution is …

Regulation Not Prohibition: The Comparative Case Against The Insurable Interest Doctrine, Sharo Michael Atmeh
Regulation Not Prohibition: The Comparative Case Against The Insurable Interest Doctrine, Sharo Michael Atmeh
Sharo M Atmeh
American law requires an insurable interest—a pecuniary or affective stake in the subject of an insurance policy—as a predi-cate to properly obtaining insurance. In theory, the rule prevents both wagering on individual lives and moral hazard. In practice, the doctrine is avoided by complex insurance transaction structuring to effectuate both origination and transfers of insurance by individuals without an insurable interest. This paper argues that it is time to ab-andon the insurable interest doctrine. As both the English and Aus-tralian experiences indicate, elimination of the insurable interest doctrine will have little detrimental pecuniary effect on the insurance industry, while freeing …
E-Commerce Taxation And Cyberspace Law: The Integrative Adaptation Model, Rifat Azam Dr.
E-Commerce Taxation And Cyberspace Law: The Integrative Adaptation Model, Rifat Azam Dr.
Rifat Azam Dr.
This article argues that the current debate on international taxation of e-commerce is totally tax oriented and ignores cyberspace law and that this separation is unjustified and harmful to the development of e-commerce taxation law. Mutual intellectual feeding and integrative debate that is open and interesting to the general legal scholarly community is necessary to improve ecommerce law. To begin a debate on e-commerce taxation as part of cyberspace law, the author describes and incorporates for the first time the primary cyberspace literature into the e-commerce taxation debate. The author draws lessons from judicial jurisdiction in cyberspace, criminal law in …
