Abstract

Dans cet article, nous nous interessons à la nature des interactions fiscales au sein de l’UE27 en matiere d’impot sur les societes. Nous estimons un modele empirique de choix fiscal au sein de l’UE27 sur la periode 1995-2007 en utilisant la methode des moments generalises et en nous focalisant sur l’origine des interactions fiscales entre pays geographiquement proches. Tout d’abord, nous mettons en evidence le role de l’appartenance politique sur les interactions fiscales au niveau international et nous montrons plus particulierement que ces interactions motivees par l’appartenance politique sont limitees aux pays contigus. De plus, en lien avec la litterature sur la nouvelle economie geographique, les resultats suggerent la presence d’une rente d’agglomeration imposable dans les pays les plus riches de l’UE15 et d’une moindre dependance de ces pays aux choix fiscaux des autres pays. Abstract - In this paper, we investigate the pattern of strategic interactions among the EU27 regarding corporate taxes. We thus estimate an empirical model of strategic interactions among 27 European countries over the period 1995-2007 by using GMM. We focus on the nature of tax interactions between neighbor countries. First, our results indicate the role of ideology on tax interactions at an international level and particularly we show that interactions motivated by the political trend are limited to contiguous countries. Second, in line with the New Economic Geography literature, the results suggest the existence of a taxable agglomeration rent for some countries which are also less dependent to other countries’ tax rates.
