Abstract In this chapter we trace the relation between efficiency and profits. The focus on profit is taken from the reform programme itself, where retention of profit to pay bonuses, and to invest in welfare and physical capital, has been a major feature of the incentives given to state-owned firms.

Oxford Economic Papers, 1978
Wages and profits must be regarded as simultaneously determined-profits must not be regarded as a residual.

Taxation of profits when there are profits
Economics Letters, 2010Abstract Profits taxes fall on both pure profits and the use of capital as an input. Simulations of a Cournot oligopoly suggest that gains from the former are not outweighed by losses from the latter.
