We estimate the sensitivity of investment to the cost of outside equity for young firms. For estimation, we exploit differences across firms in eligibility to a new tax relief program for individual outside investors in the UK.

We demonstrate how the presence of an informal sector can sharply lower the cost of environmental and energy tax policy. Our analytical model illustrates two mechanisms by which environmental taxes can improve the efficiency of the tax system through interactions with the informal sector. First, a...

We develop inference methods about long-run comovement of two time series. The parameters of interest are defined in terms of population second-moments of low-frequency trends computed from the data. These trends are similar to low-pass filtered data and are designed to extract variability...
