本文研究了两个国家在居民之间重新分配收入的模型中要素市场经济一体化的后果。每个国家的社会福利均由居民民主选择的基于来源的资本税提供资金。如果资本或劳动力具有国际流动性,各国就会进行财政竞争,资本或劳动力市场的部分一体化不利于各国的再分配能力。然而,从部分一体化转向全面一体化可能会减轻而不是加剧财政竞争,特别是如果两国面临足够相似的经济和政治条件的话。例如,在这种情况下,随着劳动力市场变得更加一体化,流动资本的税收竞争就会减弱,如果这两个因素都完全流动的话,甚至会消失。结果,均衡中出现了更多的再分配,每个国家的大多数人口的生活状况都变得更好。版权所有 2002,Wiley-Blackwell。
The paper examines the consequences of the economic integration of factor markets in a model with two countries that redistribute income among their residents. The social benefits in each country are financed by a source based tax on capital which is democratically chosen by its inhabitants. If either capital or labour is internationally mobile, the countries engage in fiscal competition and the partial integration of capital or labour markets is detrimental to the countries' redistributive ability. A move from partial to full integration, however, may alleviate rather than intensify fiscal competition, particularly, if the two countries face sufficiently similar economic and political conditions. In such a situation, for example, tax competition for mobile capital is softened as the labour market becomes more integrated and even vanishes if both factors are fully mobile. As a result, there is more redistribution in equilibrium and a majority of the population in each country is strictly better off. Copyright 2002, Wiley-Blackwell.
