Supreme Court Ruling In South Dakota V. Wayfair Inc. Updates Physical Nexus Standards And Sales Tax Collection Policies, Keith Lowe, Cassandra W. Chandler, Julie Staples
Southern University College of Business E-Journal
In the case of South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc., the U.S. Supreme Court overturned controlling cases addressing standards and guidelines for sales tax collections. These precedent cases, in existence for decades, formed the basis for competitive advantages that the E-commerce industry held over traditional commerce. These two cases held that an out-of-state seller’s liability to collect and remit sales tax to the consumer’s respective state depended on whether the seller had a physical presence in that state. This research paper examines several issues leading to this recent Supreme Court decision. Additionally, coordinated state efforts in 2000 led to what would …

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
In this study, I examine how market participants respond to global uncertainty around the Covid-19 pandemic. More specifically, I analyze the industries most affected by the outbreak.

These unforeseen events put the world economy at a standstill. I find that these decisions caused the U.S. stock markets to crash by more than 30%. The industries that experienced the most negative value-weighted abnormal returns were Carry, Meals, and Books. The industries that exhibited the …
