Segregative properties of endogenous jurisdictions formation à la Tiebout: a survey of the literature

Revue d'économie politique, 2016, vol. 126, issue 3, 357-378

Abstract: This paper provides a survey of the literature (up to 2010) on the segregative properties of endogenous processes of jurisdictions formation. We start from Tiebout?s intuitions: households reveal their preferences for the public good by choosing the community according to a trade-off between the tax rate implemented by the different jurisdictions and the amount of public good they provide. Then, the paper analyses the theoretical and empirical results on the segregative properties of endogenous jurisdiction formation in order to identify what favors and what mitigates the segregative properties of endogenous jurisdiction formation.
