The effect of local taxes on firm performance
This paper investigates the effect of local property tax for businesses on firm performance by using a panel of Italian manufacturing firms. To identify this effect, we implement a pairwise spatial‐differenced estimator and exploit the exogenous variation in local property tax rates caused by the political alignment of local and central governments. We find that business property taxation has a sizeable negative impact on equipment, the more vola…
Labor market effects of dirty air. Evidence from administrative data
Cooperation among Local Governments to Deliver Public Services
Cooperation among local governments has been encouraged to enable the aggregation of resources and improved public sector efficiency. The objective of this article is to contribute to the emerging literature on the factors driving intermunicipal cooperation. Using a unique panel dataset of 36,000 French municipalities for 1995‐2002, we estimate the relationship between cooperation decision and the fiscal revenues raised to provide local public go…
Local government cooperation at work
We analyse voluntary coalition formation using a unique panel data for 1056 municipalities in the French region of Brittany between 1995 and 2002. We use a control function approach to develop a binary discrete choice model with spatial interactions. We find that a municipality’s decision to cooperate over the provision of local public goods depends on the decisions made by its neighbours. In particular, the probability of cooperating with neighb…
Agglomeration and workplace training
Agglomeration and workplace training: knowledge spillovers versus poaching. Regional Studies. The paper aims at ascertaining whether and how a local agglomeration of highly educated employers affects firms’ propensity to invest in training. On a theoretical ground such agglomeration may favour two different scenarios: a knowledge spillover effect may foster larger investments, or a poaching effect may prevail inducing more competition and less tr…
