Discreteness and the Welfare Cost of Labour Supply Tax Distortions (2002)
Preprint / Working Paper
Bhattarai, K., & Whalley, J. Discreteness and the Welfare Cost of Labour Supply Tax Distortions

We compare the welfare costs of tax distortions of labour supply in one and two member household discrete and continuous labour supply (leisure consumption) choice models calibrated to the same aggregate uncompensated labour supply elasticities. In t... Read More about Discreteness and the Welfare Cost of Labour Supply Tax Distortions.

Welfare Gains to UK from a Global Free Trade (2001)
Journal Article
Bhattarai, K. (2001). Welfare Gains to UK from a Global Free Trade. European Research Studies Journal, 4(3-4), 55-72. https://doi.org/10.35808/ersj/65

This paper reports on a 11 region 15 sector global trade model which includes the UK as one of the regions. Model results show that a global elimination of tariffs, export taxes and subsidies raises the volume of global trade. Gains from the global f...

The role of labour demand elasticities in tax incidence analysis with heterogeneous labour (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bhattarai, K., & Whalley, J. The role of labour demand elasticities in tax incidence analysis with heterogeneous labour

Whether labour bears full burden of household level income and consumption taxes ultimately depends on the degree of substitutability among different types of labour in production. We find more variation in incidence patterns across households with l... Read More about The role of labour demand elasticities in tax incidence analysis with heterogeneous labour.

On some properties of a trade closure widely used in numerical modelling (1999)
Journal Article
Bhattarai, K., Ghosh, M., & Whalley, J. (1999). On some properties of a trade closure widely used in numerical modelling. Economics letters, 62(1), 13-21. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0165-1765%2898%2900187-6

Armington trade models with price taking behaviour and CET and CES functions may have perverse offer curves and Nash equilibria in tariff games may not exist in the two-country case.

The Redistributive Effects of Transfers (1997)
Preprint / Working Paper
Bhattarai, K., & Whalley, J. The Redistributive Effects of Transfers

Existing literature assessing the impacts of transfers on low income households assumes that transfer program participants benefit by the full amount of cash transfers received. We argue that because tax-back arrangements accompany such transfer prog... Read More about The Redistributive Effects of Transfers.

A concise knowledge of microeconomic theories is essential in order to understand the complex mechanism of allocation of resources efficiently. Right decisions based on such analysis not only enhances wellbeing of households who maximise their utilit... Read More about Microeconomics: Learning through Games and Simulations (551375).

Constitution, institutions and models for economic growth in Nepal
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bhattarai, K. Constitution, institutions and models for economic growth in Nepal

Nepal made significant progress in removing monarchy and terrors of Maoists in the last decade. It however lacks a stable solution of speedier economic growth and development as the major political parties were not able to promulgate a constitution b...
