Hideto Koizumi, Adjunct Post-doctoral Fellow, received Encouragement Award 2020 from the Japan Institute of Public Finance. Organization: Japan Institute of Public Finance Award: Encouragement Award Achievements: “Optimal Uniform Capital Taxation in A Partially Automated Society” Abstract: Recent automating technologies have sparked discussions on “robot taxes,” aimed to dissuade the displacement of labor and to generate revenue to redistribute to displaced laborers. Implementing such taxes is challenging, however, in part because of the difficulty in clearly separating which technologies substitute for labor from those which complement it. Modeling automating technologies as intermediate goods, I consider the optimal tax policy in this environment. As in standard models, non-linear labor taxes are assigned without the knowledge of a laborer’s type. Additionally, due to tax avoidance concerns and arbitrage opportunities, intermediate goods are uniformly and linearly taxed without the knowledge of their complementarity or substitutability with labor. Despite the potential for automating technologies to be complementary to workers, I find that the optimal tax

PADRÓN-HERNÁNDEZ, Ivar, Assistant Professor, received The Grigor McClelland Doctoral Dissertation Award 2020. Organization:Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS)Award:The Grigor McClelland Doctoral Dissertation AwardAchievements:“When International Strategy Meets Local Institutions: Subsidiary Influence in the Context of Headquarter Initiatives”Abstract:What do foreign subsidiaries of multinational enterprises do when strategies proposed by headquarters clash with local ways of doing business? Through 105 interviews at AB Volvo, Tomra and DeLaval, this dissertation explores, unpacks, and widens our understanding of the dilemmas and implications of subsidiaries’ dual belonging to corporate and local contexts. Findings on how subsidiaries in the United States, Japan, Germany, and France handled institutional friction caused by innovative and unfamiliar headquarter strategic initiatives are divided into four related but independent papers. Together, the papers propose a framework on how international strategy is formed, rather than formulated, by several actors and their actions. In addition, as a consequence of subsidiary duality, outcomes are not limited to how strategic initiatives turn out, but also
