Abstract

Dans l'UEM, la concurrence fiscale qui sévit fait peser un risque non négligeable sur l'ampleur des mesures redistributives mises en oeuvre dans chaque pays. A partir d'un modèle théorique d'union à deux pays au sein de laquelle le travail qualifié et le capital physique peuvent se déplacer entre les pays, nous étudions l'intérêt d'une intervention d'un gouvernement supra-national chargé de corriger les externalités fiscales qui naissent de cette étroite relation entre les pays membres de l'Union afin de lutter contre les effets « dommageables » de la concurrence fiscale. Nous montrons alors que le jeu non coopératif entre les gouvernements nationaux conduit à un biais de redistribution en faveur des travailleurs qualifiés. Dans ces conditions, en taxant les services publics offerts par chaque gouvernement, le gouvernement central peut modifier l'affectation des budgets nationaux opérée dans chaque pays.
