▼ This dissertation examines how
competition shapes behaviors of governments and agents in different scenarios. Governments compete with each other to attract for mobile
tax base. Agents and workers face
competition to earn prizes and bonus.
Competition is an effective way to incentivize proper behaviors. While in some cases, it causes inefficiency and social welfare loss. This dissertation studies environmental regulatory
competition,
tax competition, and tournament respectively.
The first essay explores the question of whether OECD countries engage in strategic environmental policymaking and use environmental policies to compete for the investment. I directly estimate countries’ strategic interaction, which is the causal effect of other countries’ changes in environmental policies on one country’s environmental policy. Considering that the strategic interaction can be caused by distinct mechanisms, such as the coordination,
competition for the investment, and pollution spillovers, this paper also disentangles different mechanisms. This paper employs a new index on measuring countries’ environmental policy stringency and uses spatial econometrics with the Generalized Methods of Moments continuously updated Instrumental Variables estimator. The panel dataset includes 26 OECD countries for the period 1990 to 2012. I find that there is a positive and statistically significant strategic interaction on environmental policy among countries. Moreover, the strategic responses in environmental policymaking are more evident among EU countries than others, and the strategic interaction is further reinforced after adopting the euro as a common currency. Interjurisdictional
competition and transboundary pollution spillovers appear to play limited roles in causing the interaction.
Essay 2 uses laboratory experiments to explore governments’
tax policies when there is
tax competition. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first experiment paper on
tax competition. I design a set of experiments to examine the effects of several factors on
tax policies, such as the number of competing regions and the sensitivity of capital movement to the
tax rate change. I find that the number of competing regions have a significant and direct impact on governments’
tax choices even keeping the sensitivity of capital movement constant. This finding has not been predicted in the theoretical literature. The sensitivity of capital movement also affect the
tax rate choices, but the effect is not as large as the model prediction. I also find the communication among competing regions significantly improves the
tax choices and bring about higher social welfare in general. The implications of the results are two folds. The first is that when analyzing
tax competition issues, both from a policy perspective and theoretical study perspective, it is important to take the effect of the number of competing regions into consideration. The second policy implication is that it is helpful to promote better and more effective communication among…

CROSS-BORDER SHOPPING: IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE FISCAL COMPETITION IN MULTIPLE TAX INSTRUMENTS.

▼ This dissertation investigates whether consumers’ cross-border shopping due to interstate commodity tax differentials influence counties’ economic activity and states’ strategic competition in multiple tax policies.
First, I examine how own and the nearest neighboring states’ commodity tax rates affect counties’ retail activity. Particularly, in contrast to many previous studies, I examine whether the distance to the state border influences the responsiveness of counties’ retail activity to sales and excise taxes of own and the nearest neighboring states. Since the costs of avoiding state commodity taxes are presumably lower along borders, the impacts of state commodity taxes on retail activity may be different for counties closer and further away from the state border. Considering retail establishments and employment of industries that are most likely to be affected by consumers’ cross-border shopping activity, I find that that the impacts of domestic and the nearest neighboring states’ sales and excise tax rates on counties’ retail establishments and employment depend on the distance to the state border. However, contrary to what would be expected, the impacts tend not to be very robust.
Second, I investigate whether consumers’ cross-border shopping to low commodity taxed states influence state governments to engage in strategic competition in multiple tax policies. Previous works on fiscal competition document that state governments engage in commodity tax competition to gain cross-border shoppers. Specifically, the empirical research find that changes in neighboring states’ one commodity tax rate influence changes in a home state’s same commodity tax rates. However, these studies do not address whether changes in neighboring states’ one commodity tax rate also induce the home state to adjust other taxes, either other commodity taxes or possible income taxes. Using a panel of the United States’ state-level data for the period 1977−2002, I estimate the reaction functions not for a single tax rate but multiple rates. In this framework, I find that states react to neighbors’ lower tax rates on one tax base by changing rates on either the same tax base or/and other tax bases, thereby suggesting that states engage in strategic competition in multiple tax rates to meet their revenue goals.

The object of research – the tax burden. The
aim of research – to carry out the comparable analysis of business
tax burden in Lithuania and EU, to evaluate the Lithuanian business
taxation in the EU context. The objectives are: • to analyze the
theoretical aspects of taxation as well as the tax burden and to
determine the problems of calculating the tax burden and its
analysis; • to provide the methodology of calculating the business
tax burden and its analysis; • to calculate and compare the
business tax burden in Lithuania and EU; • to submit the taxation
proposals relating to the expansion of Lithuanian business
competitiveness. Methods of research: analysis of tax burden in
Lithuanian and foreign scientific literature, collection and
organization of data and indicators, logical analysis and
synthesis, comparable analysis, graphical representation and
statistical methods of data analysis. After having analyzed the
Lithuanian and foreign literature on the tax burden, the comparable
analysis of the business tax burden in Lithuania and EU was carried
out. Moreover, the taxation proposals relating to the expansion of
Lithuanian business competitiveness were submitted. It was found
that the Lithuanian corporate income tax and its burden are
competitive with those in other EU countries. In comparison with
other EU countries, the Lithuanian tax burden is smaller because of
low tax rates and different tax system. Lithuanian employers meet
bigger burden of social security... [to full

▼ The exhaustive existing literature on sales
tax competition has had a focus on state data or case-studies of specific areas. This is natural because these data are usually easily obtained, and the concept of a national panel of sales
tax rate data below a state level has been out of reach thus far. This paper attempts to further the literature by bringing this focus on sales taxes down to county level business data and adds county sales
tax rates to the already intensely-covered state sales
tax rate. Further, this paper covers all counties within the United States in order to provide better insight into the use and growth of the sales
tax at sub-national levels. Utilizing data from 2002 through 2011, it is found that sales taxes have a significant negative impact to an overall county economy's annual payroll and employment. This is in stark contrast to the positive gains policymakers achieve for society by raising revenue to provide services by raising sales
tax rates, and the trade-off may suggest raising sales
tax rates is not beneficial overall, and may do much more harm than good. Further, it is confirmed that sales taxes tend to indicate a "friendliness" to the retail industry and a neglect of the manufacturing industry, whereby the institution of, or an increase in, a state or county sales
tax rate can significantly reduce the manufacturing business activity within that county.

▼ Australia and New Zealand have an ambitious intention of driving towards a trans-Tasman Single Economic Market (SEM) based on common regulatory frameworks.
Tax harmonisation is a key part in the process of becoming a SEM. The Australian and New Zealand
tax systems share a common culture in many ways. This dissertation examines the possibilities and difficulties for Australia and New Zealand in putting aside
tax competition to harmonise their current
tax systems under a SEM. The researcher carried out a secondary analysis and quantitative data analysis to gain insight into the influences on
tax harmonisation. The data resources were mostly retrieved from the official statistics websites of both countries.
This research took an economics approach in analysing
tax incentive and
tax administration. It gives insight into the income
tax model and current
tax system in New Zealand and Australia. Based on the principles of a good
tax system, and the differences in both
tax systems, the researcher provides a range of suggestions for
tax harmonisation of the
tax base,
tax entities,
tax rates and
tax rules. In terms of
tax policy innovation, the study concerns the effects of reforming existing
tax policies instead of adopting streamlined agreement. For reasons of length, this dissertation focuses only on the structure of the
tax systems rather than the wording of the
tax legislation.

▼ This theoretical work is largely based on two papers on international tax harmonization, environmental taxation and tax competition. In particular, the papers "Agglomeration, integration and tax harmonisation" (Baldwin, R. E., Krugman, P., 2004) and "Environmental taxation, tax competition, and harmonization" (Cremer, H., Gahvari, F., 2004) are used to support each other and to follow the logic of the thesis. The structure of present work is based on analysis of the above mentioned literature, thus, dividing it into major parts: the first part is devoted to issues of integration and tax harmonization and the second part extends the discussion to the issues of environmental taxation. The first part explores the issue of whether closer economic integration necessitates harmonization of tax rates among the countries. In this part I analyze the impact of tax harmonization policies, economies agglomeration as well as goods and market integration on international tax competition. The basic tax competition model is used in exploring the effects of agglomeration forces. Further, in this paper I demonstrate that greater economic integration triggers the raise of taxes (referred as 'race to the top'). In addition, 'split the difference' tax harmonization, which basically means agreeing on a tax level that is in between two positions can make both countries worse off, because without it one region can actually set a higher tax rate without having the capital depreciation and thus not to loose a potential tax revenue. This explains why tax harmonization is very rare in the real world. Consequently, the general conclusion is that agglomeration assumptions produce reverse propositions compared to standard tax competition literature. More specifically, the explanation of rare practical implementation of tax harmonization is also that an industrial concentration creates so-called 'agglomeration rent'. The 'core' region can this way set a higher tax rate without having the capital depreciation. Thus, the first part on my thesis analyzes and demonstrates the impact of agglomeration forces on tax harmonization. Second major part of the thesis addresses tax competition problem in the context of transboundary pollution. In particular, I analyze how effective are the policies of partial fiscal coordination. Economic integration is forcing companies to adopt the same or less polluting technologies. This unfortunately results in an increase of aggregate emissions and a decline of welfare. Without proper (partial) tax harmonization policies there is an obvious negative aspect of an economic integration. Additionally, in the second part I examine partial tax harmonization policies. With a higher tax, companies choose less polluting technologies, resulting in a decrease of aggregate emissions and the improvement of welfare. Alternatively, if an emission tax is decreased, companies tend to choose more polluting (cheaper) technologies and aggregate emissions will consequently increase and welfare will…

▼ Mestrado em Fiscalidade
A crescente mobilidade de pessoas e capitais, e o desenvolvimento e utilização das novas tecnologias conduziram ao fenómeno da globalização da economia, do qual resultou um forte aumento da concorrência fiscal entre países. O fenómeno da concorrência fiscal deve, por si só, ser considerado como positivo, uma vez que beneficia os cidadãos e impõe uma pressão no sentido da redução das despesas públicas ao Estado. Contudo, uma concorrência ilimitada poderá tornar os sistemas fiscais desfavoráveis ao emprego e dificultar uma redução ordenada e estruturada da carga fiscal global.
A concorrência fiscal pode ser benéfica ou prejudicial, a curto ou médio prazo, dependendo do modo como se realiza, ou seja, dos instrumentos utilizados.
Na década de 80, verificou-se a introdução generalizada de regimes fiscais preferenciais ou privilegiados, essencialmente no que se refere à constituição de centros financeiros, sociedades holdings, centros de coordenação, de serviços e actividades de resseguros. Estes regimes fiscais têm como principal característica a redução da taxa de imposto sobre as sociedades, sendo utilizados como meio para atrair o investimento estrangeiro.
Na década de 90, assistiu-se quer a nível da União Europeia, quer da OCDE, a uma tentativa de combater ou controlar os efeitos negativos da concorrência fiscal prejudicial.
The increasing mobility of people and capital, and the development and use of new technologies have led to the phenomenon of globalisation of the economy, which resulted in a sharp increase of tax competition between countries. The phenomenon of tax competition should in itself be regarded as positive, since benefits citizens and imposes a downward reduction in expenditur government to the State. However, an unlimited competition can make systems unfavourable tax to employment and hinder an orderly reduction of structured overall tax burden.
Tax competition can be beneficial or harmful in the short or medium term, depending on how it performs, in particular, what are the instruments used. the Decade of 80 saw the widespread introduction of tax regimes preferred or privileged, essentially with regard to the constitution of financial centers, corporate holdings, the coordination centres and services, reinsurance activities. These tax regimes have as main characteristic the reduction in the rate of corporation tax, being used as a means of attracting foreign investment. In the Decade of 90 both the European Union and the OECD, saw an attempt to control or combat the negative effects of harmful tax competition.

▼ The paper analyses effects of fiscal competition for mobile capital between identical regions in a transition economy. I add two features characteristic of transition economies into the familiar model of fiscal competition by Keen-Marchand (1997). Firstly, the economy is seen to consist of two sectors with differing productivities. Even though both sectors use same inputs, the new sector is more productive than the old one. Secondly, decision-makers are assumed to be only partially benevolent. They maximise a weighted average of consumer's utility and their private benefit that originates in the old sector production. The primary interest centers on the effects of fiscal competition on the overall level and on the composition of public goods provision when the economy is characterised by the above-mentioned transition features. Two specifications for decision-maker's private benefit will be used. The basic case corresponds closely to that in Keen-Marchand (1997) producing results largely in line with theirs. The level of public goods provision is proved to be too low in a competitive equilibrium. Additionally, the composition of public goods will be distorted towards too much infrastructure and too little social public good. A common increase in capital tax rates or a common change in the composition of public goods would unambigously increase consumer's welfare, but the welfare change is proven to be smaller than it would be in pure Keen-Marchand (1997) model. The alternative specification of decision-maker's private benefit may be seen as a special case of the one used in Qian-Roland (1998). As it is assumed that politicans own state sector rents, the results change radically. It is no longer self-evident that too little public goods is provided in a competitive equilibrium and a common policy change may, in fact, be welfare-deterioring for the consumers. Specifically, when the relative share of old sector production in a region is large, a common increase in tax on mobile capital may decrease consumer's welfare. The opposite is proven to hold if the production structure of the transition economy (i.e. the relative share of old sector production) is very close to a standard one-sector economy.

▼ Dissertação de Mestrado em Fiscalidade
Numa economia globalizada e de mercados altamente concorrenciais, o fator a considerar é a influência da competitividade entre Estados no mercado económico. Os Estados procuram essencialmente arrecadar receitas tributárias para a satisfação das necessidades públicas e desenvolvimento dos seus países. Contudo, também as empresas procuram vingar no mercado económico, mas muitas vezes são afetadas por um sistema de concorrência prejudicial . A existência de uma harmonização fiscal internacional é dos fatores que possibilitaria uma fiscalidade mais abrangente para os Estados: afeta por fatores como o aumento da mobilidade de pessoas e empresas e o crescimento do comércio internacional. Assim, podemos afirmar que o principal objetivo das empresas é usufruir de um regime de baixa ou nula tributação de forma a beneficiarem de vantagem fiscal. Neste sentido, cabe aos Estados deterem um sistema fiscal mais atrativo que garanta um aumento de investimentos no seu país através da conjugação de fatores como a transparência do Estado , a simplicidade das normas, a estabilidade política e jurídica e a existência de
acordos de dupla tributação, permitindo torná-lo mais atrativo para investidores e contribuintes.
In a globalized economy and highly competitive markets, the factor to consider is the inf luence of competitiveness between states in the economic market. The states search essentially collect tax revenues to meet the public needs and development of their countries. However, companies also seek reveng e in the economic market, but are often affected by unfair competition system. The existence of an inter national tax har monization is of the factors that would allow a more comprehensive taxation to the States: affects by factors such as increased mobility of people and businesses and the g rowth of inter national trade. So we can say that the main objective of business is offered a low or zero taxation polity in order to benefit fr om tax advantag es. In this sense, for the states have a more attractive tax system guaranteeing an increased investment in his countr y through the combination of factors such as transparency of the state, the simplicity of the r uler, the political and leg a l stability and the existence of double taxation ag reements, allowing make it more attractive to investors and taxpayers.

▼ Šiame darbe per mokestinių pajamų lygio ir
struktūros, valstybės išlaidų lygio ir struktūros, valstybės skolos
ir tiesioginių užsienio investicijų kaitos prizmę nagrinėjamas
tarptautinės mokestinės konkurencijos poveikis Lietuvos valstybės
finansų sistemai ir ūkiui. Darbe pristatomi pagrindiniai
tarptautinės mokestinės konkurencijos aspektai, išskiriant du
vyraujančius požiūrius į šį reiškinį. Holistinis požiūris pateikia
neigiamas nuostatas mokestinės konkurencijos atžvilgiu, metodinio
individualizmo požiūris į mokestinę konkurenciją yra teigiamas.
Darbe suformuluotos prielaidos apie tarptautinės mokestinės
konkurencijos ir mokestinės naštos, mokestinių pajamų ir išlaidų
struktūros, valstybės skolos, tiesioginių užsienio investicijų
pokyčių ryšį Lietuvoje per 1993 – 2008 m. laikotarpį. Atlikto
tyrimo rezultatai rodo, kad Lietuvoje tarptautinė mokestinė
konkurencija turėjo daugiau teigiamų efektų nei
neigiamų.
This diploma paper analyses impact of
international tax competition to Lithuania‘s public finance sector
and economy trough tax revenue level and structure, public
expenditures level and structure, public debt and foreign direct
investments change trends. This paper introduces main theoretical
international tax competition issues, separating two dominant views
to this phenomenon. Holistic view proposes negative altitude to tax
competition, methodical individualism has positive view to tax
competition. In order to achieve main paper‘s goal hypothesis about
international tax competition and tax burden, tax revenue,
expenditure structure, public debt, foreign direct investment
connection in Lithuania during period of year 1993 – 2008 are held.
Research results shows that in case of Lithuania international tax
competition had more positive effects than
negative.

A guerra fiscal travada entre os Estados da federação na exigência do imposto sobre operações relativas à circulação de mercadorias e serviços (ICMS): exigência pelo Estado de destino, do ICMS não recolhido no Estado de origem.

▼ Segundo a legislação de regência, o ICMS é exigido pelos Estados e preponderantemente na origem. A competência estadual para a exigência de exação pautada em base tributária móvel, aliada à concentração da arrecadação na origem, criou ambiente convidativo à concorrência dos Estados pela concentração dos contribuintes em seu próprio território. A realidade socioeconômica, cultural e geopolítica do Brasil, no entanto, torna essa concorrência degenerativa, pautada na instituição de benefícios fiscais tidos por irregulares há mais de quarenta anos. Como resposta, os Estados prejudicados ajuízam ações, contra o ente que outorgou o benefício, com vistas a anular o incentivo. A resposta judicial, no entanto, não corresponde ao dinamismo dos impactos econômicos que derivam da instituição dessas políticas irregulares. Em função disso, os Estados alteraram o foco de sua insurgência. Recentemente, passaram a promover a glosa dos créditos apropriados pelos seus próprios contribuintes em decorrência da aquisição, em operação interestadual, de mercadorias gravadas com benefício fiscal no Estado de origem. Como o crédito é outorgado pelo Estado de origem, na prática o Estado de destino exige o valor que deixou de ser cobrado pelo de origem. Assim procedem escudados no artigo 8o da Lei Complementar no 24/75, que estabelece a nulidade do ato e a ineficácia do crédito fiscal atribuído ao estabelecimento recebedor da mercadoria e a exigibilidade do imposto não pago ou devolvido. Todavia, a repartição de competências para a exigência do ICMS trouxe campo de atuação bem demarcado para cada ente subnacional. Logo, considerando que o Brasil está estruturado em regime federativo, não pode um Estado se apropriar de tributo de competência de seu par. Se o benefício é irregular, é dever do Estado de origem exigir os valores, comportamento que pode ser obrigado a adotar por força de ordem judicial. Sendo assim, interpretação conforme a Constituição do dispositivo em foco autoriza que o Estado de origem e apenas ele reconheça, exclusivamente nas hipóteses de isenção irregularmente outorgadas, a nulidade do ato, a ineficácia do crédito fiscal atribuído ao estabelecimento recebedor da mercadoria em operações internas e a exigibilidade do imposto não pago.
Brazilian sales tax is levied by States and predominantly in origin basis. Both high mobility of the tax base in this case, and the taxation mainly in origin, led Brazilian states to fiscal competition. Socioeconomic, cultural and geopolitical context in Brazil, however, make this competition harmful, based on the institution of irregular tax benefits for over forty years. In reaction, victim states file lawsuits against the ones who granted the benefit aiming to nullify the incentive. The correspondent judgment, however, is issued long time after the economic impacts of the irregular incentives take place. As a result, States have changed the focus of their reaction. Recently started to disallow taxpayers to appropriate credits due to the acquisition of goods originated from another State…

▼ The OECD or Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has produced a report titled Harmful Tax Competition An Emerging Global Issue. The report is the single largest threat to the offshore finance industry. Further, the sweeping
recommendations made by the report would at worst potentially discourage foreign investment in some of the more established offshore financial centers. This thesis represents an analytical view of the report and further gives some highlights to the
anomalies found in the tax regimes of the major industrialized countries. It is clear that the actions of the OECD does create in effect a tax cartel. This thesis then discusses the smaller offshore financial centers appear helpless in the midst of the
tremendous onslaught by the OECD and its member states. Finally, the thesis presents alternative measures that may be taken globally in order to combat harmful preferential tax regimes in all countries.

▼ Dans le cadre de l’internationalisation puis de la mondialisation de la sphère économique et financière, les paradis fiscaux se sont développés tout au long du XXe siècle. Emergent à l’abri de la cage de l’Etat-Nation, ce phénomène de déconnexion de la sphère résidente de la sphère d’activité économique effective, a donné lieu à l’émergence de centres offshore, de manière embryonnaire durant la première moitié du XXe siècle, puis à une échelle industrielle sur l’ensemble des secteurs de l’activité économique à partir des années 1950. Les observateurs et les acteurs politiques des pays industrialisés se sont progressivement saisi du sujet dans le cadre de l’appréhension des effets dommageables de la concurrence fiscale internationale. Les difficultés rencontrées dans la lutte engagée à différentes échelles contre ces territoires traduisent l’ambiguïté des relations qu’entretiennent les grands pays industrialisés avec la sphère offshore.
In the framework of the growth and the internationalisation of the financial flows since the beginning of the twentieth century, Tax havens leading positions in the economic and financial environment have become so much important, that many political actors of the well developed countries have tried to assess this phenomenon through the international tax competition studies. Going further in the tax optimisation and tax planning process of the offshore sphere of activity, we can consider that far from being isolated in the sovereignty of a few countries, the offshore financial model is far integrated in the worldwide economic system, which can explain the difficulty and the different means used by the political authority to manage and stop the offshore mechanism through a by territory approach.

▼ The geographic diffusion of policy is a well-documented phenomenon, but the mechanisms underlying diffusion are more obscure. This study describes and explains municipal property and sales tax rates. It examines the influence of diffusion in this rate-setting process. Existing literature describes two such mechanisms driving such diffusion: learning and competition, but leaves the question of the relative influence of these mechanisms in significant doubt. An examination of municipal tax rates, financial and demographic data shows that, when setting their own sales and property tax rates, local governments weigh the rates of their neighbors more heavily than other factors. Evidence implies a stronger role for learning and less robust role for tax competition as explanations for municipal tax rate diffusion. Budgetary demands, as well as state-mandated formal rules, also influence local government rate-setting behavior.

▼ Excessive alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking are two activities that may have large negative impacts on health. Countless laws and research have focused on these activities because of the severity of their outcomes. In this dissertation, I address three economic forces that influence drinking and smoking behaviors directly and indirectly. I investigate how the opening of a Native American casino changes the drinking behavior of different populations. I research how
tax competition affects cigarette prices and whether beer excise taxes fully pass through to prices. I find that the opening of a Native American casino leads to large increases in binge drinking among non-Native Americans living in the county where the casino is established. I show that cities located near Native American casinos, borders of states with lower cigarette taxes, and cities with higher rates of internet penetration have lower cigarette prices. Finally, I find that beer taxes pass-through to beer prices at a lower rate than previously reported. These three chapters provide important, new empirical evidence regarding economic forces and their effect on drinking and smoking outcomes.

▼ An important research area in economics is the study of interaction between jurisdictions' economic policies, and how these interactions affect individuals. Strategic interactions between fiscal and monetary policies, and their effects on governments and individuals are investigated in this dissertation. Governments use fiscal and monetary policies to enhance the welfare of individuals living within their jurisdictions' boundaries. In order to be able to supply public goods that are demanded by individuals, governments need to raise revenue. Main findings are that monetary
competition leads to lower inflation rates; low
tax rates as well as local amenities are important factors in attracting migrants into a jurisdiction; monetary unification leads to oversupply of public goods; and monetary policy of a monetary union is affected by accession countries' inflation rates.

▼ Cette thèse étudie les effets de mobilité des capitaux sur les politiques publiques dans une situation de sous-emploi. Nous traitons cette question selon trois axes. D'abord, nous introduisons le chômage dans le cadre d'analyse usuel de la concurrence fiscale afin d'étudier l'effet de mobilité du capital sur l'offre de biens publics pour établir que le résultat classique de sous-provision de biens publics est remis en question dès qu'on lève l'hypothèse de plein emploi. Nous menons ensuite une étude de la politique du salaire minimum sous la contrainte de mobilité des capitaux lorsque son rôle est de corriger la répartition des revenus. Nous montrons que la mobilité du capital conduit à la fixation d'un salaire minimum trop faible lorsque les Gouvernements ne sont pas capables de coopération. Enfin, nous analysons dans un troisième axe, l'effet de la mobilité des capitaux sur les politiques publiques en terme d'efficacité lorsque le marché du travail est soumis à des friction. A cet effet, nous utilisons un modèle d'appariement où le stock du capital est exogène. Deux résultats principaux émergent. Le premier résultat montre que le salaire minimum est un moyen d'améliorer l'efficacité du marché du travail en économie fermée; le second est que la mobilité du capital n'affecte pas l'efficacité de la politique du salaire minimum (ainsi conçue) en économie ouverte.
This thesis studies the influence of capital mobility on public policies in an imperfect labor market. We present three contributions to provide some insights on this issue. Firstly, we introduce unemployment into the capital tax competition literature to study the effect of capital mobility on the provision of public goods. Our analysis shows that the usual result of underprovision of public goods is not always preserved in the presence of unemployment. We then investigate the minimum wage policy under the constraint of capital mobility when its role is to adjust the distribution of incomes. We find that, in a non-cooperative context, capital mobility would constrain governments to set lower minimum wages.Finally, we study the influence of capital mobility on the efficiency of labor market policies when governments cannot cooperate. Using a search-matching model with an exogenous stock of capital, we find that implementing a minimum wage can make the decentralized equilibrium coincide with a social optimum in a closed economy. Next we extend the analysis to an n-country economy, the most surprising result being that capital mobility does not affect the efficiency of public policy.

This paper presents a model of a duo-centric linear city where agents choose in which jurisdiction they want to work. Jurisdictions are unequally productive and local governments use a head tax and, possibly, a sourcebased wage tax, to nance a local public good. Each agent derives utility from both the local public good of the jurisdiction where he works and where
he lives; thus, interjurisdictional commuting generates endogenous spillovers.
We analyze the tax competition equilibrium when local governments use both the head and the wage tax and compare it to the utilitarian benchmark. We show that local public goods are underprovided in the most productive jurisdiction, and overprovided in the least productive one. We also show that
distortive source-based wage taxation may improve upon the equilibrium with residence taxes alone, as it allows to charge commuters with part of the cost of the public good they enjoy.

Foreign direct investment under globalization dilemma: economic insecurity, tax competition, and funding for social welfare.

▼ My dissertation examines the question of how foreign direct investment (FDI) affects social welfare spending across countries. To date, there have been three important challenges to studies of the globalization-welfare state nexus. First, most scholars understand market internationalization in terms of the trade of goods and services while minimizing how other aspects of globalization fit into this discussion. Second, scholarly attention to economic globalization has been mistaken when understanding the relationship between demand- and supply-side mechanisms for social welfare provision. Thus, the argument that trade stimulates demand for social welfare has been incorrectly used to oppose the argument that capital mobility significantly undercuts a government's capability to fund welfare states. Lastly, existing studies on this topic mostly center around affluent democracies; various theories of welfare states require further elaborations to increase their external validity.
My dissertation aims to overcome these challenges. For this purpose, I focus on one of the most important aspects of globalization, FDI, which bears meaningful implications for both demand- and supply-side functions of social welfare provisions when explaining variations of social welfare spending across countries. I argue that since the late twentieth century, FDI has been a major cause of the "globalization dilemma,'' proposed by (Rodrik1997), who argues that in an age of globalization governments face increased demand for social welfare and decreased capabilities to supply it. In other words, FDI has conflicting influences on welfare states. On the one hand, FDI works for welfare states as the ensuing economic insecurity increases demand for social welfare. At the same time, however, FDI works against welfare states because governments will experience reductions in capital taxation due to
competition among themselves to attract and retain production capitals. I further argue that there is an interesting consequence of this dilemma. Due to the conflicting influences of FDI on welfare states, the expansion of social welfare provisions requires governments to secure additional revenues. Governments will address this concern through a strategy that is both effective and politically less expensive: an increased reliance on indirect taxation. As indirect taxes are mostly born out of labor and thus notoriously regressive, the very effort to supply social welfare provisions goes against the fundamental principle of welfare states: the redistribution of income from the rich to the poor.

▼ For many years tax competition models and empirical analysis have been showing taxation as a key variable in FDI location decisions. Countries reduce taxation to attract firms in order to create employment and economic development. Firms locate their investments where the net return on capital is higher due to a lower tax burden. But tax competition is not optimal because the lowering of the tax burden causes an inefficient allocation of capital and provision of public goods. Thus, it requires coordination of tax policies in an economic area such as the European Union (EU). Despite data not showing a complete “race to the bottom” in tax rates, the predictions of the model are widely believed by businessman and the public opinion. But tax competition has been exclusively based on neoclassical theory where imperfect decisions by managers and certain features of the decision making process such as uncertainty are assumed to be not essential. The same applies when considering incompatibility with FDI theory. A complementary approach, based on the Heiner model, underlines the central role of uncertainty and the relevance of cognitive characteristics in managers´ FDI decisions. By applying an inductive and qualitative method through questionnaires, interviews with managers and statistical tests, the reliability of the behavioural model is confirmed. Furthermore, location decisions are shown to be significantly explained by heuristics and biases arising from the uncertainty faced by managers. But the role of taxation in these decisions appears less significant than is usually considered. From a sample of 112 Portuguese FDI operations only 4 are explained by fiscal variables. Then, if managers do not rely on taxation to decide the location of their firms´ investments abroad, countries should not emphasize this variable when implementing policies to attract FDI and the main argument for corporate tax integration in the EU vanishes.

▼ A partir da década de 1950, inicia-se uma série de acontecimentos que alteraram a estrutura dos sistemas tributários. Destacam-se a flexibilização das restrições ao fluxo de capitais, a desregulamentação dos mercados, a globalização e os grandes avanços tecnológicos. Todos esses fatores contribuíram para tornar o capital um ativo extremamente móvel, podendo ser transferido para qualquer local do planeta. Percebendo essa nova realidade, alguns países e jurisdições instituíram regimes jurídicos visando atrair investimentos geograficamente móveis. Utilizavam, essencialmente, a concessão de benefícios tributários e proteção via sigilo a respeito dos investimentos e dos respectivos investidores. Em resposta, os países que originalmente hospedavam os investimentos adotaram medidas para conter a saída desses ativos ou para atrair outros investimentos. Esse cenário de competição repercutiu no âmbito tributário, uma vez que o instrumento mais utilizado para atrair investimentos eram os benefícios fiscais. A concorrência tributária internacional começou a preocupar alguns países, mais precisamente, aqueles mais desenvolvidos economicamente. Isso resultou na iniciativa da Organização para Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico OCDE para combater a concorrência tributária prejudicial. A meta estipulada pela OCDE era eliminar práticas tributárias consideradas prejudiciais, tanto em países membros quanto em não membros da organização. Para isso, a OCDE propôs a identificação de paraísos fiscais e regimes tributários preferenciais prejudiciais, e determinou a busca pelo level playing field. Entretanto, ao longo dos anos, o entendimento da OCDE sobre os métodos para eliminar a competição prejudicial nociva modificou-se, passando a enfocar, basicamente, na questão da transparência e da troca efetiva de informação para fins tributários. O objetivo desse trabalho é demonstrar a transição entre a proposta inicial da OCDE, trazida no Relatório Harmful tax competition: an emerging global issue, e a forma de atuação da organização nesse assunto atualmente.
A set of events that altered the structure of the tax systems took place since the 50s. Easing of restrictions to the capital flow, deregulation of markets, globalization and major technological development stand out. These factors contributed to make capital an asset highly movable, transferable to any location on the planet. Realizing this new reality, some countries and jurisdictions established legal regimes aiming to attract geographically movable investments. Such measures consisted basically on provision of tax benefits and protection through secrecy of investments and their investors. In response, the countries that previously hosted these investments adopted measures to contain the output of assets or to attract other investments. Such competitive situation reverberated on the scope of taxation since the most common instrument used to attract investments were tax benefits. The international tax competition began to worry some countries, more precisely the most economically…

▼ Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar como o fenômeno da guerra fiscal no âmbito do ICMS pode prejudicar a Livre Concorrência, vez que a igualdade de competição pode facilmente ser falseada por meio da concessão dos incentivos fiscais unilaterais. Introduzindo o estudo do tema tratamos da intervenção do Estado sobre o domínio econômico por meio da tributação, que passou a servir de potente instrumento de intervenção deixando de figurar como mera forma de custeio. A utilização da tributação, para tanto, deve obedecer a limites, dentre os quais o princípio da Livre Iniciativa e da Livre Concorrência, delineadores do exercicio da competência tributaria. A seguir, abordamos o princípio da Livre Concorrência e a concessão dos incentivos fiscais unilaterais. Neste tópico do trabalho, demonstramos a importância do artigo 146-A da Constituição Federal para o tema, permitindo a criação de critérios especiais de tributação para prevenir distúrbios da concorrência, além de demonstrar qual é a posição adotada pelo Superior Tribunal Federal quanto à concessão dos incentivos fiscais unilaterais. Seguimos, adentrando mais especificamente na abordagem sobre o fenômeno da guerra fiscal, a concessão dos incentivos fiscais unilaterais no âmbito do ICMS e seus reflexos para a concorrência. Discutimos ainda a necessidade de efetiva defesa da concorrência frente à guerra fiscal, discutindo as ações do CADE, órgão de defesa da concorrência no Brasil, para minimizar os reflexos anticoncorrenciais da guerra fiscal. Por fim, apresentamos as conclusões, com críticas aos Estados que se utilizam da autonomia que lhes fora atribuída constitucionalmente para conceder incentivos fiscais unilateralmente, ou seja, sem observância dos preceitos legais necessários a sua concessão. Além disso, apontamos como sugestão, maior atribuição de competência ao CADE para intervir junto às empresas que se beneficiam das isenções concedidas e prejudicam os mercados locais, já que o órgão não possui competência para punir a concorrencia desleal dos Estados.
This paper aims to analyze the phenomenon of the "tax war" under ICMS taxation can harm free competition, because the matched competition can easily be distorced by unilateral granting of tax incentives. Introducing the study of the subject we have government economy intervention through taxation, which is currently a powerful instrument of intervention and not only a source of funding. The taxation to do so, should conform to limits, of which the principle of Free- Enterprise and Free-Competition, guiding the exercise of the competence. Below we discuss the principle of Free-Competition and unilateral granting of tax incentives. At this point of the work shows the importance of article 146-A of the Constitution to the subject, allowing the creation of special tax criteria to prevent disturbances of competition, as well as shows what is the position adopted by the STF against the granting of incentives unilateral tax. Following, going more specifically into the phenomenon of tax war and the unilateral…

▼ L’ancrage historique du territoire dans la construction de l’État fait que le pouvoir d’imposition soit fondé sur une approche territoriale garantissant la pérennité et la cohésion du territoire national malgré l’évolution de l’économie vers un modèle qui se détache de l’espace géographique. La confrontation entre un droit fiscal initialement en adéquation avec le territoire politique et une réalité économique mondialisée et de plus en plus numérisée entraine une recomposition du territoire vers de multiples territoires plus adaptés à cette réalité. Le lien assez étroit entre la formation des territoires fiscaux et la construction fiscale normative, donne à la notion classique du territoire un contenu nouveau adapté à la particularité de la matière fiscale et harmonisé avec la réalité économique par l’expansion de solutions juridiques rénovées. Le territoire en droit fiscal, concrétisé par l’exercice de la compétence fiscale, peu importe le cadre spatial dans lequel s’exerce cette compétence, est plus une construction qui s’adapte, qu’une terre avec des frontières qui le déterminent. Il se transforme en une notion fonctionnelle, il est tantôt un déterminant de rattachement de la valeur imposable, tantôt un outil de politique publique. Cette perception fonctionnelle entraine un remodelage du territoire qui s’enrichit en gardant le rattachement étatique.
The historic anchoring of the territory in the construction of the State makes that the power of taxation is based on a territorial approach guaranteeing the durability and the cohesion of the national territory despite the evolution of the economy towards a model which is detached from the geographical space. The confrontation between a tax law initially in adequation with the political territory and a globalized and increasingly digitalised economic reality leads to a recomposition of the territory towards multiple territories more adapted to this reality. The rather close link between the formation of fiscal territories and the normative tax construction gives to the classical notion of the territory a new content adapted to the peculiarity of the tax matter and harmonized with the economic reality by the expansion of renovated legal solutions. The territory in tax law, concretized by the exercise of fiscal jurisdiction, regardless of the spatial framework in which this competence is exercised, is more a construction that adapts, than a land with borders that determine it. It is transformed into a functional notion, it is sometimes a determinant of attachment of the taxable value, sometimes a tool of public policy. This functional perception leads to a remodeling of the territory which is enriched by keeping the state connection.

▼ The first Chapter, focuses on a particular (and very popular) form of indirect tax harmonization, when the (good) market is imperfectly competitive (and homogenous). It discusses the implication of tax harmonization for welfare when the governments raise revenues to provide global public goods. It shows that, under certain indirect tax harmonization will generate potential Pareto improvements. And, interestingly, this is true independently of the tax principle in place (destination or origin). Chapter two analyzes a simple model of imperfect commodity tax competition in a federal system where fiscal externalities arise not only horizontally across the `states' but also vertically between levels of government. Commodity taxation can take place either under the destination or origin principle and taxes can be either specific or ad valorem. Within such framework the interplay between the vertical tax externalities, that arise due to the commonality of the tax base, and the horizontal tax externalities associated with inter-state trade is explored. It is shown that independently of the tax principle and the type of tax levied, state taxation is too low (high), from an equilibrium point of view, if and only if consumers place a high (low) valuation on the state public expenditure relative to the federal. Chapter three focuses on capital taxation in a federal system too, extending, in particular, the model of Keen and Kotsogiannis (2002) to ad valorem taxation. It shows that, although under ad valorem taxation the fiscal externalities can be of any sign, the welfare implications of lower-level government ad-valorem taxation critically depends (as in Chapter two) on the deviation of the marginal valuation of federal public expenditure from the marginal valuation of lower-level government public expenditure. Chapter four returns to tax harmonization but it does so within an environment in which there is product differentiation. The analysis focuses on the welfare implication of a specific tax harmonization rule under both the destination and origin regimes but under different settings of international duopoly (Cournot and Bertrand). Chapter five re-examines the Keen and Lighart (2005) proposition by allowing governments to provide, with the tax revenues collected, a public good. It is shown that, in contrast to the Keen and Lighart (2005) results, in the presence of public goods the desirability of tariff and tax reforms is ambiguous.

▼ The following is an outline of the four chapters of this dissertation. Chapter 1 shows that subgame perfect equilibrium and weak perfect Bayesian equilibrium require rationality at information sets that are irrelevant for determining whether outcomes are sustained by sequentially rational play. I introduce the concept of a trimmed equilibrium which requires rational play only at relevant information sets. Trimmed equilibrium can show existence of an outcome consistent with sequentially rational play when no equilibrium exists.
Chapter 2 provides a noncooperative grounding of weakly pairwise Nash stable networks. I define a modified version of Myerson's linking game and show that the set of its pure strategy Nash equilibrium networks is equivalent to the set of weakly pairwise Nash stable networks. While a weakly pairwise Nash stable network might not exist, a mixed strategy equilibrium of the game I define exists.
Chapter 3 shows that in
competition between a developed country and a developing country over standards and taxes, the developing country may have a `second mover advantage.' A key feature is that all firms do not unanimously prefer higher standard levels. We introduce this feature to an otherwise familiar model of fiscal
competition and obtain three distinct outcomes depending on the level of the cost to firms of `standard mismatch': the outcome may be efficient; the developing country may be a `standard haven'; there may be a `race to the top.'
Chapter 4 examines optimal strategies for promoting the diffusion of behavior. I assume that a lobbyist tries to persuade a network of voters to vote for a proposal by targeting influential voters. In networks with a core-periphery structure the lobbyist targets well-connected opponents of the proposal. I also provide bounds on the number of voters that have to be convinced to eventually generate unanimous support and show that more tightly connected groups are harder to convince. Moreover, in any network, after a finite number of periods a voter either continuously supports or opposes the proposal or is a "swing voter" who keeps switching back and forth between two opinions.

▼ This thesis shows that taxes are frequently a foe but also an ally of
competition.
Traditionally, both the legal doctrine and economic theory see taxes as an obstacle to
competition. The imposition of a
tax affects the supply and demand and therefore
interferes with the normal balance of the market. Custom duties and
tax aids are basic
examples of how taxes can restrict
competition. In the European context, the lack of
tax
coordination in the internal market is another factor that contributes to distort
competition considering that it obliges European firms to compete under different rules
and involves high compliance costs. These and other situations where taxes affect
competition will be analysed in this study.
Despite of the obstacles that taxes often represent to
competition, the author
believes that taxes must also be regarded as an ally to the extent that they can foster
competition as well as be used to correct serious market failures, some of the most
important purposes of
competition policy. That is the case e.g., of taxes that foster
competition in monopolistic markets, patent boxes and even environmental taxes.
Through these and other examples the author will try to sustain that the negative and the
positive effects that taxes have on
competition are two sides of the same coin.
As taxes are more often a foe than an ally, it is necessary from a
competition
policy perspective to eradicate the obstacles that taxes create for
competition. Therefore
in this work the author contributes with a list of recommendations for the EU
policymakers, hoping that in the future they will be reflected in European
tax law.

▼ 1. Essay 1: In politically competitive jurisdictions, there can be strong electoral incentives to underfund public pensions in order to keep current taxes low. I examine this hypothesis using panel data for 2,000 municipal pension plans from Pennsylvania. The results suggest that as a municipality becomes more politically competitive, it tends to have pension plans that are less funded, more generous, and use higher interest rates to discount future actuarial liabilities. IV estimates generated using demographic characteristics of the population as instruments corroborate these findings.
2. Essay 2: This paper looks at whether political ideology matters for enforcement of the nation’s
tax laws. An analysis of the IRS budget and personnel suggests that the party affiliation of the President makes a modest difference to the overall level of IRS resources. However, there are significant increases in the number of IRS employees devoted to criminal investigation and revenue collection under Democratic administrations. Audits of
tax returns filed by corporations, individuals, estates, and trusts are also significantly more likely under Democratic administrations. The body of evidence suggests that while Congress has a greater influence in determining the overall level of resources available to the IRS, the President has a more pronounced influence on the allocation of those resources.
3. Essay 3: Between 2005 and 2008, 19 of the 50 states of the U.S. reformed the franchising process for cable television, significantly easing entry into local markets. Using a difference-in-differences approach that exploits the staggered introduction of reforms, we find that prices for “Basic” service declined systematically by about 5.5 to 6.8 percent following the reforms, but we find no statistically significant effect on average price for the more popular “Expanded Basic” service. Our analysis shows that the decline in price for “Basic” service holds for markets that did not experience actual entry, consistent with limit pricing by incumbents. To control for potential state-level shocks correlated with the reforms, we undertake a sample-split test examining changes in local markets which faced a greater threat of entry; we find larger declines in prices, for both “Basic” and “Expanded Basic” services in these markets.

▼ The present dissertation aims to extend classical
tax competition to a more general
framework in which jurisdictions compete in both taxes and non-
tax instruments. In
this context, issues related to dynamic
competition and
tax coordination are investi-
gated.
Dynamic aspects of multi-dimensional
competition. Under dynamic
competition, firms
choose their location dynamically in each period to maximize their respective profits.
We develop a dynamic relocation rule of firms based on the home attachment prin-
ciple. Applying this rule, dynamic
competition in taxes and public services among
unequally sized jurisdictions is investigated. We account for the widely recognized
characteristic that small states are more flexible in their decision-making than larger
economies. However, small countries may suffer from limited institutional capacity in
the provision of public services. Consequently, small and large countries behave asym-
metrically when they compete for internationally mobile capital. This heterogeneity is
analyzed within a differential game framework. We demonstrate that in case of high
capital mobility small economies may collapse economically if public services are inef-
ficiently provided. When capital mobility is very low, a small state’s economy always
expands despite its limited institutional capacity.
Tax coordination aspects. When jurisdictions compete in taxes and infrastructure, the
desirability of
tax coordination is analyzed. The timing of the game is considered in
two different ways, simultaneous and sequential games. Two
tax coordination devices
(a common
tax rate and a minimum
tax rate) are considered. We demonstrate that
tax
coordination does not necessarily generate the welfare effects often observed in pure
tax competition literature. The reason is that the decision to coordinate on
tax rate in-
duces a carry-over effect on infrastructure expenditures. Moreover, we highlight that
tax coordination is more likely to be detrimental when countries can compete simulta-
neously in taxes and infrastructure, rather than sequentially.Then, we investigate whether partial
tax coordination benefits the
tax union (the in-
siders) and/or the outsiders since
tax coordination can be decided among a subset of
countries that forms a
tax union. The member states of the union coordinate
tax poli-
cies but still compete in infrastructure provision. In addition, the union as a whole
competes in taxes and infrastructure with the rest of the world. We demonstrate that
partial
tax coordination can harm both union members and non-union members. This
contrasts with the classical view that partial
tax coordination is Pareto improving.
Size effect on social welfare. Finally, we analyze how social welfare is impacted by in-
creasing the size asymmetry of countries when they compete in taxes and infrastruc-
ture. It appears that increasing size asymmetry does not necessarily exacerbate the
inefficiency of
tax competition. More precisely, if the degree of international openness
is low (high), social welfare decreases…

▼ No Brasil, o ponto de vista de que a competição tributária (sempre retratada como "guerra fiscal") é algo conflituoso faz com que seja difundida uma visão negativa sobre um fenômeno que nem sempre é visto como tal na literatura econômica internacional. Muitos economistas veem essa competição como algo que, sendo capaz de coibir o comportamento rent-seeking por parte dos governantes, seria benéfico para a sociedade. Com base nessa ideia, usando o modelo de Eggert e Sorensen (2008), foi testado se variáveis proxy relativas à intensidade da competição tributária e ao comportamento rent-seeking de políticos no poder eram correlacionadas. Usou-se dados dos 26 estados brasileiros e do Distrito Federal para os anos de 2001 a 2009. Os resultados mostraram que, embora essas variáveis proxy não fossem correlacionadas para os níveis de escolaridade mais baixos, no nível mais alto, havia correlação entre essas duas variáveis, embora ela fosse positiva, o que rejeitava a hipótese de que uma maior competição tributária seria capaz de diminuir o comportamento rent-seeking dos políticos.
In Brazil, the point of view that tax competition (commonly referred to as a “fiscal war”) is something conflictive spreads a negative perspective on a phenomenon that is not always seen as such in the international economic literature. Many economists see this competition as something that, in being able to reduce rent-seeking behavior by politicians, would be beneficial to society. Stemming from this idea, and using the model from Eggert and Sorensen (2008), it was tested if proxy variables relating to the intensity of tax competition and to the rent-seeking behavior of politicians in office were correlated. Data from all the 26 Brazilian states and also Distrito Federal, from 2001 to 2009, were used. The results showed that, although the proxy variables were not correlated for the less skilled groups of workers considered, at the high skilled group, there was correlation between the two variables, but it was positive, which rejected the hypothesis that a more intense tax competition would be able to repress rent-seeking behavior by politicians.
