  • Income taxation and progressivity

    Open AccessJohn Creedy, S SubramanianARTICLEScottish Journal of Political…2023Citada por: 1Referências: 2

    This paper proposes a measure of ‘equitability of taxation’, in the context of progressivity and the income tax. By postulating specifications of ‘extreme equitability’ and ‘extreme inequitability’ of a tax system, the paper advances a measure of tax equitability as the normalised area distance of a ‘tax concentration curve’ from its most inequitable version. The measure is derived, and a procedure is outlined for the decomposition of differences…

  • Sources of convergence and divergence in university research quality

    Open AccessRobert A Buckle, John Creedy et al.ARTICLEScientometrics2022

    The introduction of performance-based research funding systems (PBRFS) in many countries has generated new information on their impacts. Recent research has considered whether such systems generate convergence or divergence of research quality across universities and academic disciplines. However, little attention has been given to the processes determining research quality changes. This paper utilises anonymised longitudinal researcher data over…

  • Francis Ysidro Edgeworth (1845–1926)

    John CreedyCHAPTERHandbook on the History of…2016

    This chapter, after discussing Edgeworth’s association with Oxford and the nature of his approach to economics, examines his early work in moral philosophy, which is important in understanding his economics. Edgeworth’s contribution to the theory of exchange, involving his introduction of the contract curve and his eponymous ‘box diagram’, is then explained. This is shown to lead to his ‘social contract’ justification of utilitarianism. Edgeworth…

  • William Stanley Jevons (1835–1882)

    Volume I contains original biographical profiles of many of the most important and influential economists from the seventeenth century to the present day. These inform the reader about their lives, works and impact on the further development of the discipline. The emphasis is on their lasting contributions to our understanding of the complex system known as the economy. The entries also shed light on the means and ways in which the functioning of…

  • Modelling Responses to Profit Taxation over the Economic Cycle

    John Creedy, Norman GemmellARTICLEFinanzArchiv2010

    This paper considers behavioural responses of companies' declared profits to changes in profit tax rates. Using microsimulation modelling based on the UK corporate tax system, it argues that the cyclical volatility of firms' gross profits and off-setting deductions are potentially important but distinct determinants of the size of these behavioural responses. This arises both because deductions claimed are typically a relatively large fraction of…

  • Indirect Taxation and Progressivity

    John Creedy, Catherine SleemanARTICLEFinanzArchiv2006

    When debating an existing or proposed indirect tax, particular emphasis is often given to the disproportional effect of the tax. This effect is intended to show how the welfare loss from the tax is distributed across households with various income levels. Typically, the disproportional effect is assessed using a tax-revenue-based measure that computes how the amount of tax paid, expressed as a fraction of household expenditure, varies as househol…

  • Take–up of Means–tested Benefits and Labour Supply

    Open AccessJohn CreedyARTICLEScottish Journal of Political…2002Citada por: 2

    This paper examines take–up rates in a model in which there is a fixed non–refundable cost of applying for benefits. The model involves a joint decision regarding both labour supply and the take–up of the benefit. There is a single means–tested benefit involving a ‘taper rate’ at which benefits are withdrawn as earnings increase. It is found that take–up increases as the level of the taper rate increases, and the value of benefits increases. The …

  • Population Ageing, Migration and Social Expenditure

    Jose Alvarado, John CreedyBOOKPopulation Ageing, Migration and…1998

    The major industrialized countries are undergoing a significant demographic transition associated with low fertility rates combined with reduced mortality rates. A major consequence of the current transition is that populations are expected to age substantially over the next forty years. This innovative book studies the effects of population ageing with the associated factor of immigration, on social expenditure and public finance.

  • The Optimal Linear Income Tax Model

    Open AccessJohn CreedyARTICLEScottish Journal of Political…1998

    This paper compares the use of equivalent income with that of utility, in the social welfare function, in optimal income tax models. Equivalent income is a money metric welfare measure that, unlike utility, is not affected by monotonic transformations of utility. The use of equivalent income is found to produce an optimal tax rate that is more sensitive to the degree of inequality aversion, compared with the use of utility. With Cobb‐Douglas and …

  • Comparing Tax and Transfer Systems

    John CreedyARTICLEEconomica1996Citada por: 1

    This paper is concerned with comparisons between alternative tax and transfer systems. Using 'target efficiency' measures where the objective is the alleviation of poverty, means testing is preferred. However, the desire to reduce inequality usually leads to a preference for universal transfer systems such as the linear income tax. The present paper provides comparisons of social welfare (using an abbreviate welfare function) for schemes which im…

  • Pensions and Compensating Wage Variations

    Open AccessJohn CreedyARTICLEScottish Journal of Political…1994Referências: 1

    This paper examines compensating wage differentials for an individual utility maximizing worker in a two-period framework in which labor supply is endogenous. Comparisons are made for a flat-rate and a two-tier pension containing an earnings-related component, allowing for other taxes and transfers. It is found that the elasticities vary substantially according to preferences and the wage rate, and the elasticity of earnings with respect to pensi…

    This paper contrasts the approaches of Alfred Marshall and Francis Y. Edgeworth to economics, paying particular attention to their views on moral philosophy and the role of mathematics in economics. Edgeworth's analysis of trade unions, stimulated by Marshall's discussion, is examined in relation to subsequent analyses of trade union bargaining models. Disputes between Edgeworth and Marshall, concerning indeterminacy in exchange and Giffen goods,…
