A competitive model of the growth of government
Article Abstract:
A general taxation equilibrium model that assumed tax rates voted by majority rule was developed to examine government growth. The model defined a redistributive scheme where socio-economic groups adopted varying tax rates. Government growth exhibited a functional relationship with the groups' relative sizes, asset holdings and asset-tax avoidance. The model also highlighted the role of human capital in the production process as a vital component of government growth.
