The Capital Structure

In the capital structure literature, speed of adjustment (SOA) estimates are similar whether book or market leverage is used. This robustness is suspect, given the survey evidence that firms target their book leverage and the empirical evidence that they don’t issue securities to offset market leverage changes caused by stock price changes. We show that existing market SOA estimates are substantially upward biased due to the passive influence of stock price fluctuations. Controlling for this bias, the SOA estimate is 16% for book leverage and 10% for market leverage, implying that the trade-off theory is less important than previously thought.

Estate Taxes

This paper evaluates the effect of estate taxes on labor supply. The analysis decomposes the effect of estate taxation into the substitution effect of relative price changes and the two income effects for which the estate tax is responsible. These two income effects arise from tax burdens on those who leave estates plus tax burdens on those who receive them. Despite the double income burden of the estate tax, existing empirical evidence suggests that the net effect of estate taxation on aggregate labor supply is uncertain.

Monthly Data

Using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data of 82 Indonesian cities, we propose thehypothesis of heterogeneity in the cities’ contribution to the aggregate IndonesianCPI. Using a price discovery model fitted to monthly data, we discover that (1) of the23 cities in the province of Sumatera, five contribute 44% and nine contribute 66.7%to price changes, and (2) of the 26 cities in Java, four alone contribute 41.6% to pricechanges. Even in smaller provinces, such as Bali and Nusa Tenggara, one city alonedominates the change in aggregate CPI. From these results, we draw implications formaintaining price stability.
