Abstract

This paper studies the local tax policy setting behavior within a federal system under hidden information and hidden action by considering the incentive effects arising from elections and yardstick competition. It differsfrom earlier contributions by combining auction theory with a modern approach of fiscal federalism, based on agency theory. In this framework serves the yardstick competition as baseline model that leads to a Pareto efficient outcome, despite private information about the costs of service provision and rent-seeking activities of local policy makers. However, a first best solution is missed, if the local governments behave non-myopic. Despite this are both results from the perspective of principals (central level, local electorate) more advantageous than the outcome of a singular yardstick competition, which is in this comparison only third-best.
