Migration into the welfare state : tax and migration competition

Razin, Asaf - 2013 - Revised, April 10, 2013

In this paper I provide some support to the Tiebout hypothesis. It suggests that when a group of host countries faces an upward supply of immigrants, tax competition does not indeed lead to a race to the bottom; competition may lead to higher taxes than coordination. We identify a fiscal...
