Transfer Pricing and the Arm's Length Principle under Imperfect Competition

open access: yes, 2018
This paper analyzes incentives of a multinational enterprise to manipulate an internal transfer price to take advantage of corporate-tax differences across countries under both monopoly and oligopoly. We examine “cost plus” and “comparable uncontrollable

Strategic incentives for kepping one set of books under the Arm's Length Principle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The OECD recommendation that transfer prices between parent firms and their subsidiaries be consistent with the Arm's Length Principle (ALP) for tax purposes does not restrict internal pricing policies.

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Bio-Inspired Gradient Heterogeneous Architectures for Ultrasensitive and Robust Strain Sensors via Programmable Crack Engineering. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
Inspired by the insect campaniform sensillum, a heterogeneous bilayer strain sensor is developed based on a unique impedance mismatch and three‐dimensional structural dynamic percolation strategy. The sensor enables real‐time multi‐joint teleoperation of three joints and the gripper using a six‐degree‐of‐freedom robotic‐arm platform.

Nonlocomotory Robotic Strategies for Dynamic Rotation Control in Terrestrial Robots: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Terrestrial robots increasingly require rapid body rotation to maintain stability and agility in complex environments. This review shows nonlocomotory rotational control strategies that operate without ground contact, including reaction wheels, tails, bars, limbs, and thrusters.

Formulary Apportionment - a realistic alternative to the arm's length principle within the EU?

open access: yes, 2001
The international accepted standard today, which is used for tax purposes to attribute profits between related enterprises operating in different countries, is the so-called arm's length principle.

Reducing Nhs Bureaucracy Arm's-Length Bodies Review, July 2004

open access: yes, 2004
The number of NHS (National Health Service, UK) bodies that work at arm's-length from the Department of Health will be reduced, saving at least £500m in funds and increasing resources that can be channelled directly to front line NHS patient care.

Revisiting the CUP method in transfer pricing: global challenges and insights from an SLR

open access: yesCogent Business & Management
More than 70% of international trade occurs within multinational groups, making transfer pricing a critical global issue. The Comparable Uncontrolled Price (CUP) method is widely regarded as the most direct reflection of the arm’s length principle, yet ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.
