Decentralized Redistributive Policies and Social Competition by Yvon Rocaboy
The purpose of the paper is to study the possibility of decentralising the redistributive income function. This question is examined in the light of microeconomic fiscal competition theory. We suppose that the redistributive function is assigned to local authorities belonging to a common labour pool in which labour is perfectly mobile. The local authorities can then compete to alter the distribution of labour using their redistributive policy. Thiscompetition is called "social competition"." We show that this kind of competition is rarely Pareto efficient. This conclusion argues in favour of the creation of a "central bureau of redistribution" responsible for this function at the highest government level. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
