Taxation of Multinationals: Firm Level Evidence for Belgium

January 01, 2005

This paper provides empirical evidence of a more favorable tax treatment for foreign multinationals compared to similar domestic Firms in a small open economy.

Economic Effects Of Regional Tax Incentives: A General Equilibrium Approach

January 01, 2005

Tax incentives are common instruments in regional policies used to attract new investments and promote increase in employment and income, but the impact on regional public finances is very controversial. This paper uses an interregional computable general equilibrium model for the Brazilian economy to evaluate the net effects of tax incentives on the regional government revenues. The model takes into account the structural relationships between two regions and the specific characteristics of the Brazilian federalism that affects regional public finances.

Tax Competition When Firms Choose Their Organizational Form: Should Tax Loopholes for Multinationals be Closed?

January 01, 2005

Property Tax and Urban Sprawl. Theory and Implications for U.S. Cities

January 01, 2005

This article attempts a formal analysis of the connection between property tax and urban sprawl in U.S. cities. The authors develop a theoretical model that includes households (who are also landlords) and land developers in a regional land market. They then test the model empirically based on a national sample of urbanized areas. The results obtained from both theoretical and empirical analyses indicate that increasing property tax rates reduces the size of urbanized areas.
