This paper addresses the problem of partial tax coordination among regional or national sovereign governments in a repeated game setting.

This paper investigates the conditions under which partial harmonization for capital taxation is sustained in a repeated interactions model of tax competition when there are three heterogenous countries with respect to their capital endowments. We show that regardless of the structure of the...
