摘要：This paper examines the tax competition for mobile capital between symmetric countries. All first-nature features (local advantages) are completely abstracted away, so agglomeration and dispersion forces come purely from the second nature---the economic linkages based on monopolistic competition, increasing returns to scale, and trade costs. A positive tax indicates a dispersion rentwhile a negative tax implies an agglomeration rent. This paper finds thatthe income effect and the pro-competitive effect together foster a dispersion forcethat can be exploited by the local government in the form of a positive tax rate.
