Carbon tax pass‐through in western Canadian grain transportation
Abstract This paper examines the impact of Canada's federal carbon tax on farmgate grain prices, focusing on pass‐through in the grain transportation sector. The tax, which was eliminated in April 2025 amid concerns about rising food costs, was widely criticized by farmers for increasing expenses related to fertilizer, propane, and rail shipping.

We discuss the relationship between the Noether point symmetries of the geodesic Lagrangian, in a (pseudo)Riemannian manifold, with the elements of the Homothetic algebra of the space.

Taxing windfall money: A quasi‐experimental study
Abstract This paper examines individuals' reaction to windfall income taxation. We take advantage of similar tax reforms on lottery winnings in Portugal and Spain in 2013 to study effects on lottery participation in both countries. Using a Synthetic Difference in Differences approach on a database of 348 draws from EuroMillions, our results indicate ...

An osculating curve is a type of curve in space that holds significance in the study of differential geometry. In this article, we investigate certain geometric invariants of osculating curves on smooth and regularly immersed surfaces under conformal ...

Normal forms of two-dimensional metrics admitting exactly one essential projective vector field
We give a complete list of mutually non-diffeomorphic normal forms for the two-dimensional metrics that admit one essential (i.e., non-homothetic) projective vector field.

Price Indices Rekindled, 1970s–1990s: Theory and Practice at Cross Purposes?
ABSTRACT This paper revisits the discussions on price indices during a period marked by theoretical advancements and practical challenges in measuring inflation. Index‐number theorists sought to improve accuracy, yet national statistical offices largely maintained established practices due to concerns over data availability, stability, and public trust.

Multi-variable translation equation which arises from homothety
In many regular cases, there exists a (properly defined) limit of iterations of a function in several real variables, and this limit satisfies the functional equation (1-z)f(x)=f(f(xz)(1-z)/z); here z is a scalar and x is a vector. This is a special case

The Effect of Swiss Free Trade Agreements on Agricultural Trade
ABSTRACT As a country highly dependent on imports, Switzerland has many free trade agreements (FTAs) that liberalise trade barriers. We assess how these agreements affect Swiss agricultural imports at different margins of trade adjustment. We estimate reduced‐form gravity models using agricultural trade data for 202 partner countries from 2004 to 2022.

Projective connections arise from equivalence classes of affine connections under the reparametrization of geodesics. They may also be viewed as quotient systems of the classical geodesic equation.

Scanner Data and the Construction of Inter‐Regional Price Indexes
ABSTRACT The paper uses scanner data to measure the welfare effects of differing product availability across six Japanese regions. To eliminate the chain drift problem associated with the use of scanner data, various multilateral indexes were computed: GEKS, Geary–Khamis, and Weighted Time Product Dummy Hedonic price indexes.
