Yardstick competition and fiscal disparities: an experimental study

Giuseppe Di Liddo and Andrea Morone

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Recent theoretical research suggest that yardstick competition may be biased by the presence of fiscal disparities between local governments and that fiscal equalization may help in correcting this bias. This paper provides an empirical test of these theoretical predictions by means of a laboratory experiment.
