税收竞争理论文献综述

本文从税收竞争理论的起源到发展对税收竞争文献进行了综述。基础的税收竞争模型讨论了资本税竞争的效率损失问题,发现资本税的竞争会导致过低的税率和公共品供给水平。此后,在基础税收竞争模型中加入非对称竞争、劳动的移动、多种税收工具、不完全信息、不完全竞争和承诺问题等因素,发现税收竞争也有提高效率的作用。与最初的税收竞争文献相反,近来的研究发现垂直税收竞争和双边税收协定也会导致过高的税率和公共品供给水平。

Survey on Theories of Tax Competition

This survey is on the origin and development of theories of tax competition.The basic tax competition model discusses the loss of efficiency in the capital tax competition and finds that lead the tax rates and public good at very low levels.Some authors add the unsymmetrical competition,labor mobility,multiple tax instruments,incomplete information,imperfect competition and commitment problems into the basic model.They find that tax competition also has the efficiency-enhancing role.Opposite to the early demonstration,more recent contributions find that the vertical tax competition and double taxation conventions will lead to too high tax rates and too high levels of public good supply.
