Article Abstract:

Implementation of a progressive consumption tax serves as an alternative in solving satisfaction problem related to private consumption. A progressive consumption tax serves as assurance in maintaining a desirable proportion between total tax and income through its marginal tax rates. Such taxation allows total tax to increase steadily with income despite likelihood that savings rate might increase sharply for families with high salary.

Article Abstract:

Norway experienced a dramatic change in its pay distribution and wage system from 1987 to 1991 as the country's labor demand shifted to towards high skilled laborers. From 1987 to 1991, Norway's pay distribution became more concentrated at the bottom as the country's labor market prices became unstable. The overall employment of less educated workers declined despite a recorded increase in public sector employment.

A constitution for knaves crowds out civic virtues

Article Abstract:

An analysis of constitutional designs reveals that public laws should be geared towards the promotion of civic virtues while maintaining a checking procedure to prevent citizens from exploiting benevolent rules. Civic virtue may be fostered through participation and referenda on issues as distrusting public laws risk the loss of the promulgation of positive attitudes of politicians and citizens towards the state.
