| Inhalt | Fiscal Federalism studies the decentralization of revenue-raising capacity to levels of government below the federal level such as regions, states, cantons or municipalities. The course will start with an overview of institutional arrangements and the effective degree of tax decentralization within different countries across the world. There will be a special emphasis on the situation in Switzerland, arguably one of the most fiscally decentralized countries. We will then review the theoretical and empirical literature on tax competition and discuss its usefulness and limitations to understand decentralization within countries where taxpayers are mobile. We will next review the theoretical and empirical literature on tax-induced segregation of mobile taxpayers in particular within larger metropolitan areas. This literature also considers the endogenous political decision process that determines the local levels of taxation and hence the nature of tax competition. We will then study international tax competition and discuss the current proposals for a reform on the taxation of multinational enterprises. |
