A longitudinal study of the tax capacity and tax effort of the Malaysian state government by Abdul Jalil, Ahmad Zafarullah, Harun, Mukaramah, Che Mat, Siti Hadijah

“…And how do these measures evolved across time? The main objective of this paper is to measure the effort and capacity of the state governments in Peninsular Malaysia for their land tax for the period of 2000-2008 using the Representative Revenue System (RRS).Our findings show that state governments differ significantly in term of their capacity and their effort.The findings of this study also show that there is little movement in the ranking of the state governments with respect to the level of their tax effort.This implies that state governments especially the ones found to be exerting below average tax effort have shown little initiative to change their effort.This in turn may be due to the way the whole tax system is managed…”

Kazhdan-Laumon Categories and Representations by Morton-Ferguson, Calder

“…We then study the braid group action on D superscript b (G/U) (the main ingredient in Kazhdan and Laumon’s construction) and show that it categorifies the algebra of braids and ties, an algebra previously studied in knot theory; we then use this to provide conceptual and geometric proofs of new results about this algebra. …”

One-Step Replica Symmetry Breaking of Random Regular NAE-SAT II by Nam, Danny, Sly, Allan, Sohn, Youngtak

“…To do so, we introduce a new framework which is the synthesis of two approaches: the small subgraph conditioning and a variance decomposition technique using Doob martingales and discrete Fourier analysis. The main challenge is a delicate integration of the two methods to overcome the difficulty arising from applying the moment method to an unbounded state space.…”
