Tax competition and information sharing in Europe: a signalling game
Fourcans, Andre; Warin, Thierry - In: International Journal of Economics and Business Research 2 (2010) 1/2, pp. 76-86
This paper provides a challenging view to the tax harmonisation issue. The literature often proposes tax harmonisation to avoid free-riding behaviours in free-trade areas and more particularly in monetary unions. Without tax harmonisation, tax autonomy may lead to a "race to the bottom". The...

Warin, Thierry - In: International Journal of Economics and Business Research 2 (2010) 1/2, pp. 49-59

Barbezat, Daniel - In: International Journal of Economics and Business Research 2 (2010) 1/2, pp. 10-30

Monetary integration and the French model: a case study in the eurozone
Ross, George - In: International Journal of Economics and Business Research 2 (2010) 1/2, pp. 125-143
