Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract We study how politicians' reputation concerns affect taxation in the presence of intergovernmental competition. To this end, we construct a two‐country asymmetric tax competition model in which the residents in one of the two countries face a domestic political agency problem: the residents do not know whether the incumbent politician is benevolent or leviathan. To separate themselves from leviathan politicians and attract voters’ support, benevolent politicians argue for excessively low taxation, which can be regarded as anti‐taxation populism. This anti‐taxation populism exhibits the following two properties. First, the populist country's low production technology relative to the other country facilitates the emergence of anti‐taxation populism. Second, anti‐taxation populism can improve welfare in terms of either the populist country or the whole world, depending on the asymmetry of the production technology.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
