ISBN: 9781107636897 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Presidents Framework for Business Tax Reform
ISBN: 9781502942517 / Angielski / Miękka / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. America's system of business taxation is in need of reform. The United States has a relatively narrow corporate tax base compared to other countries-a tax base reduced by loopholes, tax expenditures, and tax planning. This is combined with a statutory corporate tax rate that will soon be the highest among advanced countries. As a result of this combination of a relatively narrow tax base and a high statutory tax rate, the U.S. tax system is uncompetitive and inefficient. The system distorts choices such as where to produce, what to invest in, how to finance a business, and what business form...

Complexity Hints for Economic Policy
ISBN: 9788847056008 / Angielski / Miękka / 311 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To do science is to find patterns, and scientists are always looking for p- terns that they can use to structure their thinking about the world around them. Patterns are found in data, which is why science is inevitably a qu- titative study. But there is a difficulty in finding stable patterns in the data since many patterns are temporary phenomena that have occurred r- domly, and highly sophisticated empirical methods are necessary to dist- guish stable patterns from temporary or random patterns. When a scientist thinks he has found a stable pattern, he will generally try to capture that...
