“Young people are hanging out less” from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com and great response letter on Hume: “His spirits and physical health were greatly revived by a regular supper of “stovies”, washed down by a daily pint of claret as prescribed by his physician.” (on.ft.com/4alCXIC and on.ft.com/4hlCetL)

Should the tax system treat people who are similarly situated equally? In 2017 I wrote an @lsephilosophy.bsky.social dissertation arguing that the basis for equal treatment in tax is weaker than we might think. The paper is now available in the Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics

My paper on the relationship between inequality aversion and non-discrimination has just been published in Economica onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... The main result is that inequality aversion in tax policy is overestimated when horizontal equity is ignored.

Taxing at exit? With the increases in capital gains tax rates in the UK budget, I was surprised that there were no changes to exit taxation. This could treat stayers and leavers more equally. Before the budget, I described what the UK can learn from the Norwegian experience on.ft.com/3ZSDHSo
