The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

CIB
22. CIB
In 1975, the Income Tax Department formed
the Central Information Branch (CIB) for
strengthening tax data-base. Initially, CIB
operated under the supervision of DGsIT
(Investigation). This was later brought under
the Directorate of Income Tax (Intelligence)
in June 2007.
23. CIB
The key function areas of DCI are
(i) widening of tax base through identification of stop filers
and non-filers
(ii) Deepening of tax base by providing information for proper
selection of cases for scrutiny assessments
(iii) through collection, collation of information from internal
as well as external sources and its dissemination to
Assessing officers (AOs) and other users in I.T. Dept.
It also collects information relating to financial transactions like
investment, expenses, payment of taxes, etc and details of
persons who are involved in some specified activities. The
mandate also provides for identification and investigation of cases
of tax evasion arising out of criminal matters, having any financial
implication punishable as an offence under any Direct Tax Law.

tools with which he can

45. Scenario 3(b) –
Businessman
Deposit of cash in excess of Rs.
10,00,000
i) Need to ensure that it can be explained
ii) Questions could be asked
iii) Scrutiny may be attracted
iv) If the amount does not match with the
returned income, it will be added to the
taxable income
46. Scenario 3(b) –
Businessman
If that amount is added to your income
then:
i) It will be considered as “tax evasion”
ii) You then pay tax + interest
iii) You also pay PENALTY
50. Can you show the cash as
current year’s income?
• Several messages on Whatsapp & Email
saying that tax + interest + PENALTY @
200% will be payable
• Is this correct?
51. PENALTY @ 200%
• Section 270A is being referred to
• This section talks of “unreported income”
• When you offer income to tax, can it be
said to be “unreported income”?
• Too many complications involved here
52. Penalty @ 200%
• Will they or will they not?
• Every case is different
• Facts of each case will be
looked at
• Scrutinies will be widespread
and many
53. Matching of cash deposited
• With current year’s books / income
• With earlier years’ income
• With other factors (debtors’ aging;
seasonal sales pattern, TCS returns (for
scrap sales) etc
• IS IT REALLY CURRENT YEAR’S
INCOME? This question is supremely
important
54. So, what to do?
• Don’t panic
• Don’t act in haste
• Think 100 times before depositing cash
into the bank
• Consult an honest tax consultant before
taking action
• DO NOT RELY ON WHATSAPP
