Ad-valorem taxation and the balance of externalities in federations

Author

  • Karakosta, Ourania

Abstract

This paper shows that--in contrast to unit taxation--horizontal and vertical externalities that exist in federations are ambiguous in sign when taxation is ad-valorem. Their balance, however, depends on the marginal valuation of lower-level government and federal public goods.
