Tax competition in federations and the welfare consequences of decentralization
Article Abstract:
The impact of intensified tax competition within federal systems characterized by the presence of both horizontal tax externalities between the states and vertical tax externalities between states and federal government is explored. Although these push tax rates in opposite directions, leaving the net outcome unclear, intensified tax competition always worsens their combined effect.
