Inhalte | Globalization has brought about competition among states that is driven by factor mobility. This competition will likely lead to an erosion of the welfare state, induce a race to the bottom of capital taxation and erode national regulatory systems. In general, it will suffer from the same type of market failure which induced the respective government activity in the closed economy in the first place. |
Lern- und Qualifikationsziele | Students should get familiar with various state activities (such as taxation, public goods provision,…). They should be enabled to identify inefficiencies resulting from competition among states and to find ways to organize this new type of competition such that efficiency will be enhanced. |
