Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerned with the area of illegal transactions, this text addresses practical issues, for example: who can raise the issue of illegality?; must illegality be pleaded? And when can a party recover money or property transferred pursuant to an illegal transaction? Divided into three main sections the text: deals with illegality as a defence to claims in various departments of the civil law; and examines the forfeiture rule as a tool which one party could compel another to disgorge profits which the other has acquired or would otherwise acquire from his illegal conduct. The third section of the text discusses the circumstances when, by way of exception, the court will enforce the claim of a person even though that person has been guilty of an illegality. Overall the text provides an account of the illegalities in civil law and a critical analysis of the current rules, with suggestions for reform.
Download or read book Illegal Transactions in International Trade written by Jagdish N. Bhagwati and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in International Economics, Volume 1: Illegal Transactions in International Trade: Theory and Measurement embraces the theoretical, empirical, and econometric aspects of international economic analysis. The selection first elaborates on a theoretical analysis of smuggling, an alternative proof of the Bhagwati-Hansen results on smuggling and welfare, and smuggling and trade policy. Discussions focus on optimal tariff and revenue questions, legal trade eliminated by smuggling, legal trade co-existing with smuggling, overinvoicing and underinvoicing of transactions, and smuggling and welfare. The text then examines overinvoicing, underutilization, and distorted industrial growth, fiscal policies, faking of foreign trade declarations, and the balance of payments, and accuracy of economic observations. Topics include statistics of foreign commodity trade, trade tariffs and subsidies, effect on capital complexity, industrial employment and output growth, implications for industrial development, effective exchange rate for capital imports, and foreign-exchange profits of overinvoicing. The manuscript ponders on tariffs and smuggling in Indonesia and the problems of assessing unrecorded trade, including complications in comparing partners' trade accounts, measuring recorded values of all products, market impact of smuggling, and methods for detecting smuggling. The selection is a valuable source of data for researchers interested in international trade.

Riveting and deeply informed, Illicit will change how you see the world around you.

Download or read book Three Essays on Illegal Transactions in International Trade written by Scott William Fausti and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analyzes the effect of uncertainty on illegal transactions. The major results of the existing literature are reexamined with regards to trade tax revenues and the social welfare effects of smuggling. New insight is gained on the theoretical implications of smuggling by analyzing how the behavior of smuggling firms is affected by the uncertainty associated with illegal trade. Firm behavior with a risk attached to illegal trade has an impact on how government enforcement affects trade tax revenues and social welfare. This thesis is in three essays. In the first essay agents have a choice of either being involved in legal trade or illegal trade. Illegal trade has a risk attached to it, with the magnitude of risk being dependent on the level of government enforcement. The risk factor allows, as a general result, the coexistence of legal and illegal trade with price disparity. The essay's main focus is on the welfare effect of smuggling, and it concludes that contrary to earlier research on illegal trade, the presence of illegal trade, even with a real resource cost associated with it, is beneficial to social welfare. This result is dependent on the attitude of exporting firms towards the risk associated with smuggling. In the second essay, the government is modeled as a profit maximizing agent. We demonstrate that over-enforcement of the trade tax laws is detrimental to revenue collection and not a socially optimal policy solution to smuggling. The third essay is a theoretical discussion of how to empirically test and compare the economic impact of smuggling on Indonesian domestic wholesale prices before and after the Indonesian trade liberalization efforts of 1985-86. The theoretical results from the first two essays suggest that trade liberalization should reduce the economic impact of smuggling by reducing the incentive to smuggle.

Download or read book How Search Technology Breeds Illegal Transactions written by Ying Lu and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments and law enforcement agents have long been troubled by the rapid development of online illegal transaction platforms and influential bell cows amidst them. In this paper, we will causally examine the effects of introducing a search-cost-reduction technology on darknet transactions to provide insights for police enforcement. When search cost is reduced on legal markets, either a long tail or an intensified concentration can arise. How to search technologies might influence darknet market structure is yet blank in previous literature, which adds significant challenges for police targets during enforcement. Our paper is motivated to answer this question. Relying on a Difference-in-Differences model, we first show that darknet transactions see a significant uplift when a search intermediary is deployed. We further conducted various analyses to unveil the darknet market structure change and the potential underlying mechanisms. Bell-cow vendors are found to reap more benefits by experiencing a larger-scale transaction increase relative to small vendors. Such an increased concentration structure change can be explained by the trustworthiness prioritized by consumers in the illicit environment, as evidenced in our analyses regarding high-risk and obscure drugs. There are no significant changes in terms of drug prices. We believe that these findings add novel insights into the search cost theory to understand how search technologies influence consumers' choices and consequent market structure in the darknet. Practically, we inspire policy design for police enforcement on darknet transactions, especially regarding the selective targeting of bell cows in response to technique upgrades.

This book was released on 2019-03-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-trial resolutions, often referred to as settlements, have been the predominant means of enforcing foreign bribery and other related offences since the entry into force of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention 20 years ago. The last decade has seen a steady increase in the use of coordinated multi-jurisdictional non-trial resolutions, which have, to date, permitted the highest global amount of combined financial penalties in foreign bribery cases. This study is the first cross-country examination of the different types of resolutions that can be used to resolve foreign bribery cases.
