By analyzing a model of local income redistribution with endogenous voting, income heterogeneity and an exogenously given degree of mobility we focus explicitly on the link between redistribution and mobility. Our findings suggest a nonlinear relationship between redistribution and mobility: high and low degrees of mobility permit major income redistribution as income sorting is absent, while a medium degree of mobility leads to high differences in tax rates between jurisdictions and thus to income sorting and less redistribution.41 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd, (c) Roehrs et al., 2010http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ImpostosPolĂtica econòmicaEquilibri (Economia)TaxationEconomic policyEquilibrium (Economics)Mobility and local income redistributioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
