Empirical Evidence on Municipal Tax Policy and Firm Growth

Author

  • Charles Swenson

Abstract

There is relatively little research on whether city business tax structures either attract or repel business activity. Using very precise establishment-level data, the study examines the economic impacts of such taxes on all U.S. cities with populations over 40 thousand. Results indicate that activity-based city business taxes and sales taxes had statistically significant effects on the growths of business establishments and their related employment.
