Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the spillover effects of national and local tax policies in Argentina. For this objective, we consider a static bi-regional general equilibrium model for the Buenos Aires City and the rest of Argentina. We analyze the impact of fiscal policies on welfare of private agents and the spillover effects on the performance of the public sector of both regions using equal revenue tax increases simulations . As expected, the model shows that regional and national fiscal policies do have relevant effects on the activity level in the regions and on the welfare of their inhabitants. The paper presents a sensibility analysis, which considers changes in the rule of indexation of wages and in capital mobility. They are shown to be relevant for the quantitative results.
