This paper investigates the effect of fiscal equalization on the efficiency properties of corporate income tax rates chosen by symmetric countries in a Nash tax competition game under the taxation principles of Separate Accounting and Formula Apportionment. Fiscal equalization ensures efficiency...

Empirical evidence reveals that unemployment tends to increase property crime but that it has no effect on violent crime. To explain these facts, we examine a model of criminal gangs and suggest that there is a substitution effect between property crime and violent crime at work. In the model,...

We investigate how the optimal nonlinear income tax schedule is modified when taxpayers can evade taxation by emigrating. We consider two symmetric countries with Maximin governments. Workers choose their labor supply along the intensive margin. The skill distribution is continuous, and, for...

In our one-shot experiment, we find that coordination often fails and exogenously imposed … equilibrium into a coordination game with a set of Pareto-superior equilibria. Thresholds may therefore improve efficiency in the …, because voting may facilitate coordination due to signaling and commitment effects. We find that voting does have signaling …

We experimentally study decision-making in a novel dynamic coordination game. The game captures features of a … network has higher payoffs, but the transition is slow and costly. Coordination is required to implement the transition while … minimizing costs. In the experiment, the game is repeated five times, which enables groups to learn to coordinate over time. We …
