Explanations for this surge in apprehensions have been split between two leading hypotheses. Most academic scholars, immigrant advocates, progressive media outlets, and human rights organizations identify poverty and violence (the Poverty and Violence Hypothesis) in Central America as the primary triggers responsible. In contrast, while most government officials, conservative think tanks, and the agencies that work in the immigration and border enforcement realm admit poverty and violence may underlie some decisions to migrate, they instead blame lax U.S. immigration …

Existing work in the field of women’s social movements makes clear the linkage between social mobilization and positive outcomes, such as increased …

Determinants Of Tax Effort: A Cross Country Analysis, Mark Alan Mccoon

This paper analyzes the determinants of tax effort. Tax effort is defined as the aggregate tax level of a country divided by its Gross Domestic Product. A country‘s tax effort is an expression of the tax burden the government imposes on the economy. One of the most fundamental issues confronting a society is the size of the governmental sector.

The nations of the world have crafted many different answers to that question as evidenced by the fact that tax effort and the size of government sectors varies …
