Nuclear physics is shortly experiencing a thrust in the direction of basic phy sics questions. Low-energy experiments assist in checking out past modern-day stan dard types of particle physics. the hunt for finite neutrino lots and neutrino oscillations, for proton decay, infrequent and forbidden muon and pion de cays, for an electrical dipole second of the neutron denote a number of the efforts to check modern-day theories of grand unification (GUTs, SUSYs, Superstrings, .

This deduction is degressive, equalling zero for incomes above € 26,000. Italy does not grant any personal tax credit. However, for non-working spouses a degressive tax credit is granted. In 2002 and 2003, this credit starts at € 546 for incomes up to € 15,494 and ends at € 422 for incomes above € 51,646. Families with low incomes may claim child allowance. Apart from this, individuals receive a tax credit of at least € 285 for each child. The working tax credit decreases because of the new basic deduction from up to € 1,146 in 2002 to at most € 235 in 2003.
Since these studies exclusively focus on pensions they are able to include more details, in particular concerning lifeexpectancy and demographics. On the other hand, our approach is much broader in scope since we mcorporate all taxes and social security contributions which are related to employing the highly qualified person. Also, these studies typically refer to an average person with more or less average income whereas the high-earning person who is in the centre of our model usually has to pay higher implicit taxes than an average earner.
Instead, we take care to relate as precisely as possible individual benefits procured by social security contributions to the payment of these contributions. Thus, we quantify the pension resulting from the first pillar of old-age insurance, and unlike the OECD, we do not consider public health insurance premiums as taxes. Second, both approaches consider different types of employees. While the OECD concentrates on the average production worker and workers earning 67 or 167 per cent of this worker, our study is explicitly focussed on highly qualified employees.
