Even small trade costs restore efficiency in tax competition
Becker, Johannes; Runkel, Marco - 2010
We introduce transport cost of trade in products into the classical Zodrow and Mieszkowski (1986) model of capital tax competition. It turns out that even small levels of transport cost lead to a complete breakdown of the seminal result, the underprovision of public goods. Instead, there is a...

Justifying the Lindahl solution as an outcome of fair cooperation
Buchholz, Wolfgang (contributor);  … - 2005
The Lindahl equilibrium is mostly motivated by a rather artificial price mechanism. Even though the analogy to a competitive market has been emphasised by Lindahl himself his approach does not directly explain the normative ideas, which are behind this concept. In the present paper we therefore...

Error prone inference from response time : the case of intuitive generosity
Recalde, María P.; Riedl, Arno; Vesterlund, Lise - 2014
Response time is increasingly used to shed light on the process by which individuals make decisions. As mistakes may be correlated with response time it could, however, be misleading to use this measure to draw inference on preferences. To demonstrate we build on a recent literature, which uses...
