Just recently, proposals to raise middle-class taxes toppled the Bolivian government, and plans to extend or increase the value-added tax caused political unrest in Ecuador and Mexico. Despite the impact of tax policy on developing countries, a comprehensive study has yet to be written. Treating Argentina, Brazil, India, Kenya, Korea, and Russia as key case studies, this volume outlines the major aspects of current tax codes and explores their economic and political implications. Examples of both the poorest and wealthiest developing countries, Argentina, Brazil, India, Kenya, Korea, and Russia uniquely demonstrate the diverse fiscal problems of tax reform. Each economy relies heavily on indirect and corporate income taxes, though recently some have reduced their tariff rates and have switched from excise to value-added taxes. There is a large, informal economy in most of these countries, and tax evasion by firms is a significant concern. As a result, tax revenue remains low, even though rates are as high as those in developed economies. Also, unconventional methods to collect revenue have been implemented, including bank debit taxes, state ownership of firms, and implicit taxes on individuals in the informal sector. Exploring these and other concerns, as well as changes in tax law, administration, and fiscal pressures, this comprehensive anthology clarifies the current landscape of tax administration and the economic future of the world's poorer economies. 410 0$aInitiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia (Series) 606 $aTaxation$zDeveloping countries$vCase studies 606 $aTaxation$zDeveloping countries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTaxation 615 0$aTaxation 676 $a336.2009172/4 701 $aGordon$b Roger H$g(Roger Hall),$f1949-$01044978 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458949103321 996 $aTaxation in developing countries$92470907 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01507nam 2200529Ia 450 001 9910458168703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-61503-062-X 035 $a(CKB)2560000000050585 035 $a(CtWfDGI)bke00042686 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000487948 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11328874 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000487948 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10446318 035 $a(PQKB)11203803 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3002373 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3002373 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10320366 035 $a(OCoLC)713840154 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000050585 100 $a20000428d2000 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurzn|||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aTitanium$b[electronic resource] $ea technical guide /$fMatthew J.

The articles deal with features particular to the pronoun systems of Finnic languages, such as logophoricity and the use of demonstratives for human referents, as well as other topics of current interest in research into the nature of pronominal reference, in particular the contextual, interactive and grammatical factors which influence the use and interpretation of pronouns. An international group of authors approach these questions from several theoretical frameworks including psycholinguistics, syntax, conversation analysis and discourse analysis. The volume is the first collection of articles on this topic published in English.

The importance of the sports industry to economies coupled with the availability of financial and productivity data have made the study of sports economics a useful avenue for exploring research questions that have eluded mainstream economics fields. The main goal of this Special Issue of the International Journal of Financial Studies is to encourage theoretical and applied research in sports economics, which is of interest to both academics and practitioners. For this purpose, this Special Issue on "Sports Finance" invites papers on topics, such as, but not limited to, salary determination, ticket pricing, revenue sharing, salary caps, competitive balance, new stadium financing, rival league behavior, determinants of revenue, television and media, tournament prize structures, financial distress in professional sports, financial fair play, financial control of sports clubs, Third Party Ownership, financial efficiency in professional sports, budget constrains and sport performance, financial information of sports, ownership of professional sport clubs and Crowdfunding in sports. Papers on both professional and amateur sports are welcome. 610 $aearnings persistence 610 $asubsidy 610 $aM42 610 $aM41 610 $afighting 610 $awelfare 610 $asalary 610 $afinancial health 610 $aKHL 610 $acollege sports 610 $aearnings predictability 610 $asports finance 610 $aZ2 610 $afinancial fair play 610 $aZuffa LLC 610 $aaudit fees 610 $apayment failure 610 $afinances 610 $asoft budget constraint 610 $aEuropean football clubs 610 $arevenue sharing 610 $amixed martial arts (MMA) 610 $aeffort 610 $afinancial recovery 610 $amoments 610 $aNHL 610 $aJEL Classification 610 $aprofit maximisation 610 $acountry of origin 610 $aprofessional team sport 610 $apolarization 610 $auncertainty of outcome 610 $abonuses 610 $afighter performance 610 $agrants 610 $ahockey 610 $aaccruals 610 $aFinancial Fair Play 610 $aaudit shopping 610 $afootball 610 $aUEFA 610 $arisk aversion 610 $aeconomics 610 $aUltimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 610 $aWorld Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) 610 $aregulation 610 $aFrench soccer 610 $acricket 610 $adisequilibrium modelling 610 $asegmented labour market 610 $afinance 610 $aattendance 700 $aBarajas$b Angel$01297598 702 $aRockerbie$b Duane 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367752703321 996 $aTopics in Sports Finance$93024597 997 $aUNINA
