How do corrective taxes work when firms can reformulate products to avoid them?

My #JMP studies the UK’s Soft Drinks Industry Levy: a tax with a multi-tier structure in which more sugary products face higher tax rates. #econtwitter

This is genius! It makes absolute sense once you think about it.

La IPO de Space X va a arruinar a mucha gente

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Fidelity has announced that it is making the SpaceX IPO available to any customer with a retail brokerage account with $2,000 or more in the account (down from up to $500k before).

"SpaceX has decided to reserve a much higher percentage of the offering (up to 30%), which means there should be more shares available to retail clients, which is why we have decided to reduce IPO eligibility for this offering."

@heeney_luke They might want people aware of algorithmic complexity. Was it related to that?

Más evidencia que la reducción del impuesto corporativo impulsa la inversión y aumenta el empleo.

Lo que no tiene sentido, es la integración tributaria.

Que señal de los tiempos, Alemania queda fuera del Consejo de Seguridad

[DW Politics @dw_politics]

Germany has failed to win a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul (CDU) secured 104 votes in the General Assembly, falling 23 short of the required two-thirds majority. It is the first time Germany has missed out on a rotating seat.

Estoy investigando cómo se forman los docentes de primaria en Argentina y Chile en Historia.
Vengo laburando con una muestra representativa y estoy impresionado con las diferencias. Me podía imaginar algunos contrastes, pero no tantos como las que termine encontrando:

[Florian Ederer @florianederer]

I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.

Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...

The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.

That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.

Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.

Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.
