Abstract: | In models of economic geography, plant-level scale economies and trade costs create incentives for spatial agglomeration of production into a manufacturing core and agricultural periphery, creating regional income differentials. The authors examine tax competition between national governments to influence the location of manufacturing activity. Labor is imperfectly mobile and governments impose redistributive taxes. |
