Abstract: In this article, a triangular production-location model is used to show that when output price is random, the imposition of business taxes (including lump-sum tax, profit tax, output tax, and input tax) can have significant effects on the optimal location and output of a firm attempting to maximize a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function of profits. In addition, using the concept of differential incidence, the authors also made a comparison of the magnitudes of the impacts of these taxes on the output and location of the firm and indicates that the effects of these taxes differ according to the tax structure.
