First, we show that many tax-transfer schemes in Europe feature negative jointness defined as a situation where the tax rate on one person depends negatively on the earnings of the spouse. This stands in contrast to the previous literature on this question, which has focused on a specific form of positive jointness. The presence of negative jointness is driven by family-based and means-tested transfer programs combined with tax systems that usually feature very little jointness. Second, we consider the labor supply distortion on secondary earners relative to primary earners implied by the current tax-transfer systems, and study the welfare effects of small reforms that change the relative taxation of spouses. By adopting a small-reform methodology, it is possible to set out a simple analysis based on more realistic labor supply models than those considered in the existing literature. We present microsimulations showing that simple revenue-neutral reforms that lower the tax burden on secondary earners are associated with substantial welfare gains in most countries. Finally, we consider the tax-transfer implications of marriage and estimate the so-called marriage penalty. For most countries, we find large marriage penalties at the bottom of the distribution driven primarily by features of the transfer system. -- labour supply ; redistribution ; optimal tax ; couples ; marriage tax ; joint taxation.OECD social, employment, and migration working papers ;76.TaxationEuropeTaxation331.1094Immervoll Herwig146645NjHacINjHaclDOCUMENT9910138163303321An evaluation of the tax-transfer treatment of married couples in European countries3036355UNINA01745nam 2200505 450 991082474230332120230730080347.01-63853-277-X1-62623-116-810.1055/b-005-143327(CKB)3710000001151210(Au-PeEL)EBL4835411(CaPaEBR)ebr11370307(OCoLC)98373566910.1055-b-005-143327(DE-2912)1495658359954(MiAaPQ)EBC4835411(EXLCZ)99371000000115121020170425h20172017 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPlastic Surgery Emergencies Principles and Techniques /by: Bullocks, Jamal M., Hsu, Patrick W., Izaddoost, Shayan A., Hollier Jr., Larry H.Second edition.New York, New York :Thieme,2017.©20171 online resource (xv, 269 pages) illustrations (chiefly color)Includes index.1-62623-115-X Surgery, PlasticSurgical emergenciesSurgery, Plastic.Surgical emergencies.617.952Bullocks Jamal Medthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1648433Hsu Patrick Wedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtIzaddoost Shayan Aedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHollier Jr Larry Hedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-2912BOOK9910824742303321Plastic Surgery Emergencies3996566UNINA03836nam 22006614a 450 991096918360332120200520144314.0978159726607915972660789781417541898141754189X(CKB)1000000000003844(OCoLC)56609650(CaPaEBR)ebrary10064678(SSID)ssj0000175578(PQKBManifestationID)11170376(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000175578(PQKBWorkID)10203984(PQKB)10615263(MiAaPQ)EBC3317332(Au-PeEL)EBL3317332(CaPaEBR)ebr10064678(OCoLC)923186445(Perlego)3288233(EXLCZ)99100000000000384420030926d2004 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrThe hype about hydrogen fact and fiction in the race to save the climate /Joseph J.

Nearly everyone -- environmentalists, mainstream media commentators, industry analysts, General Motors, and even President Bush -- seems to expect emission-free hydrogen fuel cells to ride to the rescue in a matter of years, or at most a decade or two. Not so fast, says Joseph Romm. In The Hype about Hydrogen, he explains why hydrogen isn't the quick technological fix it's cracked up to be, and why cheering for fuel cells to sweep the market is not a viable strategy for combating climate change. Buildings and factories powered by fuel cells may indeed become common after 2010, Joseph Romm argues, but when it comes to transportation, the biggest source of greenhouse-gas emissions, hydrogen is unlikely to have a significant impact before 2050. The Hype about Hydrogen offers a hype-free explanation of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, takes a hard look at the practical difficulties of transitioning to a hydrogen economy, and reveals why, given increasingly strong evidence of the gravity of climate change, neither government policy nor business investment should be based on the belief that hydrogen cars will have meaningful commercial success in the near or medium term. Romm, who helped run the federal government's program on hydrogen and fuel cells during the Clinton administration, provides a provocative primer on the politics, business, and technology of hydrogen and climate protection.
