Tax competition under minimum rates : the case of European diesel excises

Evers, Michiel; Mooij, Ruud A. de; Vollebergh, Herman R. J. - 2004

This paper estimates Nash-type fiscal reaction functions for European governments competing for revenue from diesel excises. It appears that European governments strategically set their excise levels by responding to their neighbors' tax rates. This provides evidence for the presence of tax...

Enhanced cooperation in an asymmetric model of tax competition

Vrijburg, Hendrik; Mooij, Ruud A. de - 2009

This paper analyzes enhanced cooperation agreements in corporate taxation in a three country tax competition model where countries differ in size. We characterize equilibrium tax rates and the optimal tax responses due to the formation of an enhanced cooperation agreement. Conditions for...

Governmental competition in road charging and capacity choice

Ubbels, Barry; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2007 - This version: 10/09/07

In this study we have analysed policy interactions between an urban and a regional government which have different objectives (welfare of its own citizens) and two policy instruments (toll and capacity) available. Using a simulation model, we investigated the welfare consequences of the various...

Neumann-Morgenstern expected utility functions using cooperative game theory. The social network literature studies various … numbers of neighbours) of the positions in a network. Although this allows for externalities, in the sense that the … preferences of a position might depend on the way how other positions are connected, these externalities can be taken into account …

The implementation of marginal external cost pricing in road transport

Verhoef, Erik T. - 1998

This paper discusses a number of issues that will become increasingly important nowthat the concept of marginal external cost pricing becomes more likely to be implementedas a policy strategy in transport in reality. The first part of the paper deals with thelong-run efficiency of marginal...

Competing recombinant technologies for environmental innovation

Zeppini, Paolo; Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M. van den - 2010

This article presents a model of sequential decisions about investments in environmentally dirty and clean technologies, which extends the path-dependence framework of Arthur (1989). This allows us to evaluate if and how an economy locked into a dirty technology can be unlocked and move towards...

General geographical economics model with congestion

Marrewijk, Charles van - 2005

We derive and discuss a general, but simple geographical economics model with congestion, allowing us to explain the economic viability of small and large locations. The model generalizes some previous work and lends itself to analyzing the impact of public policy in terms of infrastructure...
