Optimal income taxation with tax competition
Lipatov, Vilen; Weichenrieder, Alfons J. - 2010
We introduce tax competition for mobile labor into an optimal-taxation model with two skill levels. We analyze a symmetric subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium of the game between two governments and two taxpayer populations. Tax competition reduces the distortion from the informational asymmetry...

Agglomeration and tax competition
Pflüger, Michael; Borck, Rainald - 2004
Tax competition for a mobile factor is different in 'new economic geography set- tings' compared to standard tax competition models. The agglomeration rent which accrues to the mobile factor in the core region can be taxed. Moreover, a tax differential between the core and the periphery can be...

Welfare stigma in the lab : evidence of social signaling
Friedrichsen, Jana; König, Tobias; Schmacker, Renke - 2017
Using a laboratory experiment, we present first evidence that stigmatization through public exposure causally reduces the take-up of an individually beneficial transfer. Our design exogenously varies the informativeness of the take-up decision by varying whether transfer eligibility is based on...

A puzzle of the modern welfare state is that a large fraction of social benefits is not taken up. Using a laboratory … transfer by 30 percentage points. We build a theoretical model that interprets welfare stigma as unfavorable inferences about …
