Vertical income tax externalities and fiscal interdependence: Evidence from the US
TL;DR: This article carried out a theoretical analysis of the interdependent tax-setting decisions of federal and regional governments, paying special attention to institutional features that characterise the U.S. federal system in practice and that formally link the taxes employed at various levels of government (i.e., tax deductibility).
Journal ArticleDOI
Is income redistribution a form of insurance, a public good or both?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on a single, salient relationship between local unemployment rates and demand for spending on unemployment benefits and find that increases in local unemployment rate lead to increased demand by workers for unemployment benefits spending.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tax Setting in a Federal System: the Case of Personal Income Taxation in Canada
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of tax policies enacted by one government are not confined to its own jurisdiction, and a way to check the empirical relevance of these hypotheses is to test for the existence of interactions between the regional tax rate and the federal tax rate, the tax rate set by competing regions, and the standard equalisation tax rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
