Abstract: | In this article, welfare-optimal pricing of passenger and freight transport services are studied in a federation. New opportunities for tax competition and tax exporting are created by the prevalence of international transport flows in small open economies. Tax exporting opportunities strongly depend on the possibilities for price discrimination between domestic and international transport. Transport flows generate both local and trans-boundary externalities. |
