Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I examine how competition for mobile capital through integrated market among regional governments changes politics and public policies implemented in each regions, depending on types of policy instrument to attract the mobile capital: tax rated imposed on capital employed by firms in the region or public investment enhancing productivity of firms. Particularly, I focused on changes of types of policy makers elected through voting under the regime of representative democracy.
As a main result, it is found that which types of policy makers are chosen through election in each region and how public policy, particularly redistributive policy, is implemented after the elections are contrastingly different, depending on the types of policy instrument to attract mobile capital. In the case of capital tax competition, public policy is more likely to be redistributive. On the other hand, in the case of public investment competition, it is more likely to be not redistributive.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

グローバル化がもたらす生産要素の国家間・地域をまたぐ移動は、各政府間においてそれらを巡る各種政策を通じた競争を招くことが広く知られている。本研究は、その政策を通じた政府間の競争は、それぞれの国内・地域内の政治構造および政策の方向性をいかに変容させるか、その鍵を握る要因は何かについて明らかにしようと試みるものである。
本研究は、特に資本を巡る政府間の財政競争に着目し、政策決定者として選出される属性や実施される再分配政策について、資本課税率と公共投資では対照的な結果がもたらされ得ることを指摘した。従来研究対象とされることが稀であった公共投資に注目した点とその結論は新規性が高いものと考えられる。
