''Corporate tax differentials in a multi-country world with imperfectly integrated economies'' |
( 2013, Vol. 33 No.2 ) |

|
This paper investigates the determinants of corporate tax differentials in a tax competition model with three imperfectly integrated countries of different population sizes. Introducing a third country in a quasi-linear model of new economic geography, we show that the tax differential between any two countries is increasing with their population differential, but this effect is weakened by trade liberalization. |
