    We test for the state interdependence of gasoline and cigarette taxation in the US (1975-2006). We estimate a tax reaction function, and find that state interdependence is due solely to yardstick competition, since any interaction disappears completely in the case of states with lame duck governors. This result holds for...

    2010/02: Can lower tax rates be bought? Business rent-seeking and tax competition among U.S. States

Campaign contributions may affect tax competition and enhance or retard the mobility of capital across jurisdictions. Based on a...

    The purpose of this paper is to study toll and investment competition along a serial transport corridor competition allowing for partial cooperation between regional governments. Partial cooperation is modeled as a Nash bargaining problem with endogenous disagreement points. We show that the bargaining approach to partial cooperation implies lower tolls...
