The article explores how tax competition between countries with different levels of wealth affects tax rates and efficiency. By analyzing various types of taxes, the researchers found that the impact on national welfare is unclear due to factors like tax base and trade effects. They also discovered that when countries act independently in setting tax rates, it can lead to inefficiencies on a global scale.
