Risk, Rents, And Regressivity: Why The United States Needs Both An Income Tax And A Vat, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah

Articles

In this article, Prof. Avi-Yonah argues that the legal academic debate about fundamental tax reform from 1974 onward has been skewed by the assumption that a consumption tax must replace the income tax. He addresses three of the major issue in recent writings on the income/consumption tax debate, and shows how none of the arguments in favor of the consumption tax are conclusive. Avi-Yonah also addresses the various consumption tax proposals that have been made and shows that they are all deficient in comparison with a VAT, as well as failing to achieve the goals of an income tax. Finally, …

Systemy Refundacji I Metody Regulowania Cen Leków, Katarzyna Nędzi

European Management Studies

Because of the increasing expenditure on health care, the great majority of countries are looking for methods of reducing treatment costs. Health authorities apply a number of instruments to control prices of pharmaceuticals and their reimbursement in order to ensure the availability of adequate supplies of medicinal products at a reasonable cost, which largely depends on the specificity of medicines that improve people's health and save their lives. The paper presents methods of limiting expenditure on medicines as well as examples of national policies on price setting and reimbursement systems. It also demonstrates how European Union approaches the issues regarding …

Restrukturyzacja Finansowa, Organizacyjna I Własnościowa Zakładów Opieki Zdrowotnej, Małgorzara Winter

European Management Studies

The reforms undertaken in Poland have substantially changed the situation of many economic subjects. Among them are also heath-care units. The sphere of public services, in which health care is included, has been undergoing deep and dynamic changes consistent with the trends characteristic for the economy as a whole: the system of central planning is being replaced with free market economy. These changes call for an urgent and radical transformation of the present health-care management system. The article addresses the issues of financial and organisational reforms of the health-care sector that are being planned. The major goal set by the …

According to the author, these characteristics are: the domination of public sources of financing (especially local governments' budgets), the distribution of money on health care by the local government and administration, local government's ownership of most health-care units, availability of health-care services to every citizen. The article describes local governmental health care in the Scandinavian countries and Spain, presenting similarities and differences between particular systems and the reforms they have gone through.

Global Changes In Regulating Corporate Auditors: A Comparative Assessment, Richard Thompson Ainsworth

Faculty Scholarship

Auditor independence was a global concern of financial regulators in the 1990's. Some observers saw this in a positive light, a natural development. Adjusting auditor independence rules was a manifestation of global convergence in corporate governance structures. New rules, especially rules leaning toward a harmonized system were welcome.

There was a more sobering view. This view held that global regulators were less concerned with convergence than they were with a sense of impending disaster. Things had gone too far. Significant, maybe even radical change was needed. The independence of corporate auditors had eroded; trust had been fundamentally compromised in the …

Court Delay In Developing Countries With Special References To China, Qing-Yun Jiang

German Working Papers in Law and Economics

The judiciary in developing countries is troubled with various problems. Specifically, court delays, backlogs and uncertainty associated with unexpected outcomes have diminished the quality of justice and leads to loss of confidence of the general public in judiciary. Court delay is always coupled with impartiality, corruption and low quality of judgment, etc. The reform program needs to address the major causes of the deterioration in the quality of court services and address the root political, economic causes of an inefficient and inequitable judiciary and not simply deal with its symptoms. Like many other judiciaries in developing countries, court delay is …

The Normativity Of Law In Law And Economics, Péter Cserne

German Working Papers in Law and Economics

The Normativity of Law in Law and Economics Péter Cserne* 1. Introduction This paper is about some theoretical and methodological problems of law and economics (economic analysis of law, EAL). More specifically, I will use game theoretical insights to answer the question, relevant both for law and economics and legal philosophy, how should a social scientific analysis of law account for the normativity of law (the non-instrumental reasons for rule-following) while retaining the observer’s (explanatory or descriptive) perspective. The goal is to offer a constructive critique of both traditional law and economics scholarship and mainstream analytical legal philosophy (the “Jurisprudence …

The Protection Of Relation-Specific Investment In Long-Term Contracts With Special Reference To The Car Industry, Ulf Hansen

German Working Papers in Law and Economics

This paper is about the efficiency of the consequences of a termination of long-term contracts, in the case that the terminated party has made specific investment. After introducing the investment protection in the United States, in Germany and in Austria, it will be shown which restrictions regarding the type of investment, the type of termination and the form of contract are required from an economic perspective to discuss the varieties of investment protection. On this basis, an economic analysis will show that the legal design which generates a valid termination and the claim for the terminated party to be compensated …

Wie Kommt Es Zu Umfangreichem Sozialschutz Im Zivilrecht?, Georg Von Wangenheim

German Working Papers in Law and Economics

Die Betonung des Gegensatzes von Sozialschutz und Marktrationalität im Titel des Symposiums weist darauf hin, dass Sozialschutz im Zivilrecht nicht – oder wenigstens nicht immer – effizientes Recht ist. Wenn über ineffizientes Recht gesprochen wird, stellt sich notwendig auch die Frage, wie dieses ineffiziente Recht nachhaltig überwunden werden könnte. Um das zu klären, muss man zunächst herausarbeiten, woher denn das ineffiziente Recht kommt – einerseits damit man aus der Ursachenforschung Rückschlüsse darauf ziehen kann, wie man die Überwindung bewerkstelligen könnte, andererseits auch damit man die Nachhaltigkeit der Überwindung sichern kann, denn ohne die Kenntnis, woher das ineffiziente Recht kommt, kann …

The Quandary Of Serving Multiple Masters: An Institutional Exploratory Analysis Of Publishing In Business Law, Robert S. Rubin, John R. Olson, Laura Hartman, James A. Belohlav

ExpressO

Notwithstanding published articles on the nature and quality of research and scholarship in practically every other business discipline, to date there has been little systematic evaluation of relevant journals in the business law discipline. This deficiency is due, in part, to the fact that business law may still be described as a developing discipline. Thus, the focus of this article is on delineating the nature of research and scholarship within the business law discipline. Specifically, the publishing practices of business law faculty from academic institutions that were members of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International), the …

Equity And Adequacy: A Funding Crisis In The Tennessee Education System., Scott F. Collins

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Tennessee is experiencing a budget crisis related to the dollar amount per-pupil expended on kindergarten- through 12th-grade education when compared to other states. Public schools across America are operating in a time of increased expectations. Recent legislative initiatives at both the state and federal level have created new systems of testing and performance standards that will hold schools and teachers accountable for students' achievement. Given the rapid changes that are being made, many state policymakers have noted the importance of designing better financial schemes for public schools with sufficient resources to meet the demand for better education; however, funding and …

Resorts In Southern Appalachia: A Microcosm Of American Resorts In The Nineteenth And Early Twentieth Centuries., Mary F. Fanslow

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Five resorts in East Tennessee--Montvale Springs and the Wonderland Hotel in the Smokies, Tate Spring in the Holston River Valley, Unaka Springs on the Nolichucky River, and the Cloudland Hotel at the summit of Roan Mountain--stand testament to the proposition that their region engaged fully with areas outside southern Appalachia. Their origins, clientele, and health and leisure offerings followed those of other resorts of the same time period. Moreover, the effects of national socioeconomic trends on the hotels serve as a contradiction to the stereotype of southern Appalachia as an isolated region barricaded from the outside world by mountainous topography. …

Burial Practices In Southern Appalachia., Donna W. Stansberry

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study was conducted in an attempt to determine whether certain burial practices are unique to the people of Southern Appalachia. Eight individuals were interviewed, including a minister and a funeral director. As a result of the research, it was found that, although a strong sense of community and religion still prevails, making certain burial rituals distinctive to the people of Southern Appalachia, they are slowly eroding due to the growing presence of the modern American funeral industry.

Qualitative research methods were used to analyze a segment of the Southern Appalachian population, with literature reviews of related material and in-depth …
