Using the German local business tax as a testing ground, we empirically investigate the impact of firm agglomeration on … measures for the communities' agglomeration characteristics. The findings indicate that urbanization and localization economies …'s potential to tax agglomeration rents depends on its firm and industry agglomeration relative to neighboring communities. To …
