ESTIMATING THE RIVALNESS OF STATE‐LEVEL INWARD FDI
提出一种利用条件Logit、泊松和嵌套Logit模型估算税基竞争性的方法，并应用于美国州级资本税对FDI的影响，发现FDI竞争可能是零和博弈。
ABSTRACT We develop a method for estimating the rivalness of tax bases using the structures of the conditional logit, Poisson, and nested logit models. As an illustration, we apply this method to estimate the effect of state‐level capital taxation on U.S. inward foreign direct investment (FDI). The assumption of perfect nonrivalness can in some cases be rejected, but the assumption of perfect rivalness cannot. Competition over FDI across U.S. states could well be a zero‐sum game.
