The Consequences of Overlapping Tax Bases for Redistribution and Public Spending in a Federation Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Robin Boadway

Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
Tax and expenditure policies are studied in a federation with imperfectly mobile households. States implement a linear progressive tax and supply a public good. A vertical fiscal externality, reflecting the effect of state policies on federal revenues, provides an incentive for state taxes to be too progressive. A horizontal fiscal externality causes non-optimal states taxes and expenditures because of the migration effect. The federal government implements its own linear progressive tax and makes transfers to the states. The federal government can nullify both externalities by appropriate fiscal policies, and redistributive taxation can be decentralized to the states.
