Download or read book Considerations for the Development of Tax Policy when Capital is Internationally Mobile written by Robert F. Conrad and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1989 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For tax policy to encourage maximum investment of capital (both foreign and domestic) it is necessary to take into account the potential mobility of capital across international borders. Economic analysis of investment incentives should therefore incorporate the effects of variables such as source rules, nexus rules, attribution rules, foreign tax credits, and so on, in addition to traditional variables such as legal tax rates and the revenue implications of the distribution of the tax base.

Download or read book International Commodity Policy written by Roland Herrmann and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1993, this book provides an excellent analysis of commodity policies internationally during the late 20th Century. It discusses 2 major methods of market regulation: price stabilization – based on buffer stocks or export quotas – and compensatory finance. The authors analyse whether major commodity policies have reached their primary objectives and to what extent they have had economic side effects. Discussion of more general policy issues centres around three international commodity agreements for coffee, rubber and cocoa. The authors also look at the policies adopted by individual nations to regulate commodity trading and assess to what extent they have reached their objectives. A discussion of the intervention of the International Monetary Fund and STABEX assesses the degree of stability they can provide in a highly volatile and variable environment. Nearly 30 years later, volatile world commodity markets are still a major issue in the policy dialogue. Although topics, policy instruments and concepts have changed, this book remains a fundamental contribution to the study of international commodity policy. It will be of great interest to students of commodity policy and economic development and economists in national and international organizations dealing with market stabilization.

Download or read book Sovereign Wealth Funds written by Christopher Balding and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-08 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sovereign wealth funds are a growing and dynamic force in international finance. The shifting international economic relations from capital rich states gives them new power in influencing the global agenda. Despite controlling trillions of dollars in the biggest companies in the world, little is known about the opaque funds of oil rich and non-democratic governments. This is the first book to compile a history of sovereign wealth funds recounting the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority's involvement with the scandal-plagued BCCI bank and Chinese arms exports to Iran. By constructing a history within the proper context of oil driven surpluses and large inflationary pressures with no international investment framework, this book explains the development and growth of sovereign wealth funds. The economics of capital surplus countries and investment strategies are examined in order to better understand sovereign wealth fund creation and growth. In a straightforward and accessible style, the author examines the complex and amazing growth of an unknown group of investors controlling trillions of dollars worldwide.
