Fiscal competition in a transition economy

Public Economics from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The paper analyses fiscal competition for mobile capital between identical regions in a transition country. A framework similar to Keen- Marchand (1997) is used to analyse welfare effects of regional competition. It is shown that in very early transition when the share of the old sector is overwhelming, consumers in a transition economy may be better off in a competitive equilibrium. The decision-makers, however, would prefere to coordinate their fiscal policies.
