Abstract

This paper provides new evidence on the effects of inter-municipal cooperation (IMC) on local revenues. IMC can take different forms, involving both tax integration and joint provision of public services. Using data on the specific missions and fiscal regimes of communities in France, we are able to study both of them in the same empirical setting. We first show that business tax integration led to a significant increase of business tax revenues. Second when considering the transfer of specific services from the municipal level to the inter-municipal level we find heterogeneous effects on local revenues. Although no transfer of services leads to a significant increase of total tax revenues, we find positive effects on business tax revenues from cooperating on public transit policies. On the other hand, the transfer of water management decreases total tax revenues. Overall, the transfer of services to the IMC group had a limited impact on total tax revenues.
