Much of the local tax reform effort is focused on state and local finance systems and especially on the real property tax. Citizen participation in reform efforts is an example of democracy in action. Yet, the quality of reforms achieved …

Accordingly, we will first develop the share valuation equation for a continuous discount version of the taxless case for corporations …
