Item type:Publication, The Non‐Equivalence of Labour Market Taxes: A Real‐Effort ExperimentUnder full rationality, a labour market tax levied on employers and a corresponding income tax levied on employees are equivalent. With boundedly rational agents, this equivalence is no longer obvious. In a real‐effort experiment, we study the effects of these taxes on preferences concerning the size of the public sector, subjective well‐being, labour supply and on‐the‐job performance. Our findings suggest that employer‐side taxes induce preferences for a larger public sector. Subjective well‐being is higher under employer‐side taxes while labour supply is lower, at least at the extensive margin. We discuss three mechanisms that may underlie these results.Type:journal articleJournal:Economic JournalVolume:127Issue:604Scopus© Citations 29 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Thoughts on Voting Power and the Public Good IndexAmong the wide variety of voting power indices, the public good index (PGI) is one of the less well-known ones. Holler (2019) posits hypotheses about why this is the case. In response to these hypotheses, I share a few thoughts about voting power in general and about the popularity of the PGI.Type:journal-articleJournal:Munich Social Science ReviewVolume:3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Comment on “Does your surname affect the citability of your publications”The question whether the position of a researcher’s last name in the alphabet matters for his or her scientific career is important. Abramo and D’Angelo (2017) attempt to answer this question and claim that they find “no evidence whatsoever that alphabetically earlier surnames gain advantage”. This stands in contrast to almost all literature on the topic (for a recent survey, see Weber, 2016). The reason that the results in Abramo and D’Angelo (2017) differ from the standard results is that the way they conduct their research is problematic and their claims are unsubstantiated.Type:journal-articleJournal:Journal of InformetricsVolume:11Issue:2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Two-tier voting: Measuring inequality and specifying the inverse power problemThere are many situations in which different groups make collective decisions by committee voting, with each group represented by a single person. This paper is about two closely related problems. The first is that of how to measure the inequality of a voting system in such a setting. The second is the inverse power problem: the problem of finding voting systems that approximate equal indirect voting power as well as possible. I argue that the coefficient of variation is appropriate to measure the inequality of a voting system and to specify the inverse problem. I then show how specifying the inverse problem with the coefficient of variation compares to using existing objective functions.Type:journal-articleJournal:Mathematical Social SciencesVolume:79Scopus© Citations 6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
