Fiscal competition in a transition economy
Laura Solanko ()
Abstract: The paper analyses fiscal competition for mobile capital
between identical regions in a transition country. A framework similar to
Keen-Marchand (1997) is used to analyse welfare effects of regional
competition. It is shown that in very early transition when the share of
the old sector is overwhelming, consumers in a transition economy may be
better off in a competitive equilibrium. The decision-makers, however,
would prefer to coordinate their fiscal policies.
