Jotwell post on recent Zucman et al paper

A website called Jotwell (for Journal of Things WE Like Lots) encourages its contributors to write very short pieces calling out for praise particular recent articles that were published in one's field.

I tend to participate in this annually, although with the press of other obligations I skipped 2017. But they have just posted this short piece that I wrote that discusses the recent Torslov, Wier, and Zucman NBER paper, The Missing Profits of Nations, which argues that big multinational firms are shifting A LOT (40% or more) of their economic profits to tax havens.

I note in my short piece that there is an ongoing dispute among leading empirical economists regarding whether the amounts being shifted are this high, or significantly lower. My own anecdotal sense of things is that the high estimates are likely to be correct, but I accept that there is a genuine empirical dispute here for the experts in such research to hash out. But in any event Zucman et al have found a creative and interesting new way of addressing the question, as I note very briefly in my piece and they explain at greater length in their paper.

As I note in my short comment, the greater the magnitude of such income-shifting, probably the less the real responses we ought to expect to, say, the recent U.S. corporate rate cut from 35% to 21%. But even if we get only minimal real responses because they do so much income-shifting anyway, it's somewhat of a separate question whether there would be more real responses if the income-shifting were more substantially shut down.

I was just going through some blog online when I met a testimony of this blank atm card made by DARK WEB ( darkwebblankatmcard@gmail.com or WhatsApp: +18033921735 ) I contacted that very address and I got one at an imaginable rate.(compared to what the card carries, the rate is minimal) At first I thought, it was gonna be some scam or something. But when I got the card I could get nothing less that $5,000 in a day. (Five Thousand United State Dollars). Here is the testimony I saw; “Its the programmed atm card that can hack into all atm machines. Its works with any currency and in any country where you might be living. Its is programmed in a way that when transaction is carried out with the card ,it can’t be traced. To make use of this card ,you need no account number or even pin of anyone. Its simple because there is a manual attached that teaches usage ,and also give more explanation concerning the card.” So friends, its a new year and a new beginning. If you need funds to start up some business, pay up bills and loans or money to live a good life? Then you gat to make this opportunity yours. Though is illegal as you and I know ,but since government can’t satisfy my whole needs, I have to do what I have to do, to get what I want and for my family to be happy.. Though this post is not for everybody, but for those who truly need change from a poor state to a wealthy life. Contact them darkwebblankatmcard@gmail.com or WhatsApp: +18033921735

Greetings to you all. In the event that you require a hacker, Francisco Hacker is the company to get in touch with. They provide virtually every hacking service imaginable, including services for bugging, recovery, and cracking. I wasn't first confident that they would be able to assist.

To anyone interested in cyber hacking, I can heartily recommend Francisco Hacker services because they are the best.
