Offshore dollar memes are the best memes

I have the impression that github copilot has become practically useless for R. It can't event create simple error free plots anymore... It was never great but where does this reduction of capabilities come from?

Looking forward to visiting this fantastic group!

*very* excited to host the great @ebharrington.bsky.social for this lecture at the @taxobservatory.bsky.social. Come join us if you're around!

The way tariffs cause America to make more things is by making things cost so much money that Americans cannot afford to buy services any more, and the people who currently work providing those services lose their jobs and switch into making things insteads

Dies wäre der richtige Zeitpunkt, das EU-weit zu tun, beispielsweise als Steuer auf die Werbeeinnahmen von Plattformunternehmen. Das würde den Börsenwert der Tech-Unternehmen und damit den S&P 500 Index spürbar reduzieren.

Deutschland ist durch die US-Zölle auf Autos stärker betroffen als andere EU-Länder. Das darf aber nicht dazu führen, klein beizugeben. Im Gegenteil, nur eine geeinte und starke Reaktion der EU kann Schlimmeres verhindern.

Eine besonders effektive Maßnahme wäre, die Dienstleistungen der Big-Tech Unternehmen zu besteuern. Dass die EU mehr Dienstleistungen aus den USA beziehen als umgekehrt, davon ist in Trumps Reden bisher nichts zu hören. Einzelne EU-Länder erheben jetzt schon eine Digital Service Tax.

... to which Trump will reply with a financial transaction tax to finally out himself as a sleeper agent of @josephestiglitz.bsky.social

Die EU scheint entschlossen, auf Donald Trumps Zollpolitik mit direkten Gegenmaßnahmen zu reagieren – und hat dafür in den letzten Jahren deutlich mehr politischen Spielraum bekommen. Aber wie genau sollte sie diesen nutzen? Ein Beitrag von André Wolf.

Wir koennen den ungeziehlten Massnahmen der Trump Administration durch sinnvolle zielgerichtete begegnen und nebenbei langfristige Politikziele erreichen wie beispielsweise eine Besteuerung US amerikanischer Digitalkonzerne 👇

Nine years later, the #PanamaPapers investigation continues to inspire governments around the world to chase badly needed revenue lost offshore to tax evasion schemes. Check out ICIJ's current tally based on information received from various governments: buff.ly/Yl2PJMA

40% on Mauritius, 37% on Liechtenstein, 31% on Switzerland, glad to see the Trump administration trying to do something about tax havens.

how about some 'reciprocal' digital service tarrifs based on our trade balance with the US in that sector?

👇🏼 One week left to apply (Feb 28). Looking forward to your applications!

Fantastic and timely public good. Thank you!

There are several things to unpack here. 1. It just says "extraterritorial" levies -- i.e. ANY tax levied by a foreign country. The statement isn't nuanced enough to focus on just the possible top-up tax, rather, it seems to open a war on ANY taxation of inbound multinationals.

The White House labels OECD rules for equal treatment of U.S. multinationals they themselves negotiated as "discriminatory foreign tax practices" and "retaliatory international tax regimes". www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Whether you care about fairness or fiscal responsibility, cutting the IRS’s enforcement budget (as many Republicans have proposed) would be an absolute disaster. New evidence from back-to-back studies in the latest @qjeharvard.bsky.social ... (1/4)

The 1906 San Francisco Fire was one of the largest urban fires in American history. @hannaschwank.bsky.social's excellent paper on its long-run consequences has sadly become very timely. Luckily we have learned some lessons (e.g. insurance more common), still an invaluable piece of research.

💰 NEW: Research Handbook on the Economics of Tax Havens by Arjan Lejour and Dirk Schindler FREE chapter: doi.org/10.4337/9781... 🔗 www.e-elgar.com/shop/isbn/97... #TaxHavens #TaxAvoidance @jakobmiethe.bsky.social @valeriamerlo.bsky.social @mathieupar.bsky.social @davidragrawal.bsky.social

Happy new year! 2024 was a transformative year for our EU Tax Observatory @taxobservatory.bsky.social Here’s an overview of the research we published last year. All papers and databases are available online on taxobservatory.eu 🧵

A “tax haven” stirs up imagery of tropical island paradises that set very low tax rates. Are state/local governments that levy zero tax rates hidden "tax havens"? Check out my chapter "Hidden Havens: State and Local Governments as Tax Havens?" in this @elgarpublishing.bsky.social book Thread:

Here is the handbook I was missing as a PhD student! Edited by Dirk Schindler & Arjan Lejour, it includes contributions by more than 40 scholars on all aspects of tax haven research in economics. My chapter "Tax Havens and Illicit Financial Flows"... (1/5)

Today I'm presenting in the Public Economics Seminar at the University of Munich. Great to be back - 10 years after I organized this seminar myself as a PhD student/Postdoc 😃
