Abstract: ABSTRACT The economy of a small region is modeled as an eighteen equation system describing production, consumption, income distribution, factor supply, and a government sector. The government uses five different taxes independently to collect tax revenue equal to 20% of what land rents would be in an untaxed equilibrium. The revenue from each tax is redistributed to local residents according to five different plans. The distribution of the tax revenue, as well as the type of tax, generates distinct patterns of impacts on regional population, capital stock and production structure, wages, rents and incidence of the tax.
