Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to investigate what type of preferences of a policy-maker in each jurisdictional government dominates as a long-run consequence in inter-jurisdictional competition with fiscal externality. To this end, I constructed a simple model of expenditure competition among jurisdictional governments adopting an indirect evolutionary approach. I postulated that policy-maker's preferences are defined over a resident's welfare and a fiscal surplus that benefits only the policy-maker according to Edwards-Keen (1996) although the preference type is endogenously determined as an evolutionary equilibrium. I showed in my model that a purely benevolent policy-maker cannot survive in the long-run and the resident's welfare is lower than the one in a Nash equilibrium. However, this study has not been completed at the present time.
