Exaggerated expectations in ancient starch research and the need for new taphonomic and authenticity criteria by Mercader, Julio, Akeju, Tolutope, Brown, Melisa, Bundala, Mariam, Collins, Matthew J., Copeland, Les, Crowther, Alison, Dunfield, Peter, Henry, Amanda, Inwood, Jamie, Itambu, Makarius, Kim, Joong-Jae, Larter, Steve, Longo, Laura, Oldenburg, Thomas, Patalano, Robert, Sammynaiken, Ramaswami, Soto, María, Tyler, Robert, Xhauflair, Hermine

“…However, lapses in prevailing starch research demonstrate the exaggerated expectations for the field that have been generated over the last few decades. This includes an absence of explanation for the millennial-scale survivability of a biochemically degradable polymer, and difficulties in establishing authenticity and taxonomic identification. …”

Do we need ramsey taxation? Our existing taxes are largely corrective by Yan, Eric, Feng, Qu, Ng, Yew-Kwang

“…Due to the importance of environmental disruption (both in production and consumption), relative competition between individuals (including conspicuous consumption and keeping up with the Joneses), the diamond effect, excessive consumerism or the materialist bias, most taxes in most countries, though mainly designed for revenue collection, are largely corrective than distortive. There is thus no need for Ramsey taxation. In this paper, a theoretical model is built to make a comparison between the social optimality attained by an income tax and the individual optimality attained without an income tax. …”
