Tiivistelmä: | Policies to harmonize value-added tax rates are controversial in the European Union. The PAPER formulates a multi-country model over a one-dimensional soace as a non-cooperative Nash game, in which each country aims at maximizing its tax revenue, subject to the constraint that its tax rate lies within a given common band. Then the author examines the effects of changes in the common band on tax rates, tax revenues and the number of cross-border shoppers at Nash equilibrium. He also analyzes the effects of geographical variation in country size and location. |
