Fiscal and migration competition

It is often argued that tax competition may lead to a 'race to the bottom'. This result may indeed hold in the case of factor mobility (such as capital). However, in this paper we emphasize the unique feature of labor migration, that may nullify the 'race to the bottom' hypothesis. Labor...

Migration into the welfare state : tax and migration competition
Razin, Asaf - 2013 - Revised, April 10, 2013
In this paper I provide some support to the Tiebout hypothesis. It suggests that when a group of host countries faces an upward supply of immigrants, tax competition does not indeed lead to a race to the bottom; competition may lead to higher taxes than coordination. We identify a fiscal...

Levelling the global playing field through optimal non-discriminatory corporate taxes and subsidies
Nocco, Antonella; Ottaviano, Gianmarco I. P.; Salto, Matteo - 2024
Due to markup distortions, in international trade models with monopolistic competition and heterogeneous firms the market equilibrium is inefficient unless demand exhibits constant elasticity of substitution. When it does not, global welfare maximization generally requires policy intervention...

In this paper, unlike the conventional wisdom, we demonstrate that the relationship between the size of the market and number of firms would be non-monotonic. While moderate rise in the size would force the local firms to exit and only the foreign firm rules, substantial rise in the size would...
