    Essays in Public Economics by Dorian Carloni A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Economics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Alan J. Auerbach, Chair Professor Hilary W. Hoynes Professor Rucker C. Johnson Professor Emmanuel Saez Spring 2016 Essays in Public Economics Copyright 2016 by Dorian Carloni 1 Abstract Essays in Public Economics by Dorian Carloni Doctor of Philosophy in Economics University of California, Berkeley Professor Alan J. Auerbach, Chair This dissertation consists of three chapters and analyzes individuals' and firms’ response to tax and government spending policies. The first chapter focuses on the economic incidence of a large value added tax (VAT) cut in the restaurant industry in France. In particular it estimates the share of the tax cut falling on workers, firm owners and consumers by analyzing the VAT cut applied to French sit-down restaurants { a drop from 19.6 percent to 5.5 percent { in July 2009. Theoretically, we develop a standard partial equilibrium model of consumption tax incidence that includes consumption substitutability between the taxed good and an untaxed good, and markets for production inputs, which we allow to vary with the tax. Empirically, we use firm-level data and a difference-in-differences strategy to show that the reform increased restaurant profits and the cost of employees, and aggregate price data to estimate the decrease in prices produced by the reform. We compare sit-down restaurants to (a) non-restaurant market services and (b) non-restaurant small firms, and find that prices decreased by around 2 percent, the cost per employee increased by 3.9 percent and the return to capital increased by around 10 percent.

This is a case which has as its backdrop the demise of the well-known and well- established Manchester firm of solicitors, Halliwells LLP (‘the LLP’), previously known as Halliwell Landau (‘Halliwells’), in 2010. I make it clear straightaway that the Defendant, Mr Michael McCarthy (‘Mr McCarthy’), who became a Full Member of the LLP on 3 July 2007, when he and the LLP entered into the Limited Liability Partnership Deed (the ‘LLP Deed’), and who remained a Full Member until 31 May 2010, had nothing whatever to do with the circumstances in which the LLP got into the difficulties which it did. 2. On the contrary, it was common ground at trial that, on joining the LLP, Mr McCarthy was led to believe that the LLP had only modest borrowings and that he knew nothing at any stage about the financial arrangements surrounding the LLP’s move to new Manchester premises in Spinningfields, a move which had already taken place by the time that he became a Full Member.
