tax incidence Majority Voting and capital market integration
Journal of Public Economics, 2006Co-Authors: Ben Lockwood, Miltiadis MakrisAbstract:We re-examine, from a political economy perspective, the standard view that higher capital mobility results in lower capital taxes — a view, in fact, that is not confirmed by the available empirical evidence. We show that when a small economy is opened to capital mobility, the change of incidence of a tax on capital–from capital owners to owners of the immobile factor–may interact in such a way with political decision-making so as to cause a rise in the equilibrium tax. This can happen whether or not the immobile factor (labour) can be taxed, and whether or not savings can be subsided under capital mobility. D 2005 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Majority vote and monopolies in social networks
International Conference of Distributed Computing and Networking, 2019Co-Authors: Chen Avin, Zvi Lotker, Assaf Mizrachi, David PelegAbstract:Occasionaly, every society needs to reach a decision among its members. For this, it may use a Voting mechanism, i.e., collect the votes of the group members and output a decision that best expresses the group's will. To make up their minds, individuals often discuss the issue with friends before taking their votes, thus mutually affecting each other's votes. Individuals are also, to some extent, influenced by the opinions of key figures in their culture, such as politicians, publicists, etc., commonly considered as the "elite" of the society. This work studies the "power of the elite": to what extent can the elite of a social network influence the rest of society to accept its opinion, and thus become a monopoly. We present an empirical study of local Majority Voting in social networks, where the elite forms a coalition against all other (common) nodes. The results, obtained on several social networks, indicate that an elite of size [MATH HERE] (where m is the number of connections) has disproportionate power, relative to its size, with respect to the rest of society: it wins the Majority Voting and remains stable over time.

Majority Voting and the welfare implications of tax avoidance
Journal of Public Economics, 2012Co-Authors: Christian TraxlerAbstract:Abstract A benchmark result in the political economy of taxation is that Majority Voting over a linear income tax schedule will result in an inefficiently high tax rate whenever the median voter has a below-average income. The present paper examines the role of tax avoidance for this welfare result. For a right-skewed distribution of taxed income, we show that the political distortion from Majority Voting is increasing in the median voter's avoidance. Vice versa, keeping the decisive voter's avoidance constant, the political inefficiency is decreasing in the average level of avoidance in the economy.

Majority Voting and the welfare implications of tax avoidance
Social Science Research Network, 2009Co-Authors: Christian TraxlerAbstract:A benchmark result in the political economy of taxation is that Majority Voting over a linear income tax schedule will result in an inefficiently high tax rate whenever the median voter has a below average income. The present paper examines the role of tax avoidance for this welfare assessment. We find that the inefficiency in the Voting equilibrium is the lower, the higher the average level of tax avoidance in the economy, or equivalently, the lower the median voter's amount of avoidance. The result holds for endogenous avoidance and labor choice and, under certain conditions, for an endogenous enforcement policy.

credit card fraud detection using adaboost and Majority Voting
IEEE Access, 2018Co-Authors: Kuldeep Randhawa, Manjeevan Seera, A NandiAbstract:Credit card fraud is a serious problem in financial services. Billions of dollars are lost due to credit card fraud every year. There is a lack of research studies on analyzing real-world credit card data owing to confidentiality issues. In this paper, machine learning algorithms are used to detect credit card fraud. Standard models are first used. Then, hybrid methods which use AdaBoost and Majority Voting methods are applied. To evaluate the model efficacy, a publicly available credit card data set is used. Then, a real-world credit card data set from a financial institution is analyzed. In addition, noise is added to the data samples to further assess the robustness of the algorithms. The experimental results positively indicate that the Majority Voting method achieves good accuracy rates in detecting fraud cases in credit cards.
