Research Abstract

This research project analyzes a participation problem in fiscal competition. The issues examined are (i) an endogenous choice of tax instruments in a capital tax competition model, (ii) fiscal equalization and interregional convergence in a growth model with two competing regions, and (iii) a choice on privatization and restrictions on foreign investment in a global market. Theoretical findings and policy implication are derived in each research topics.
