The politics of policy diffusion (2019, background): “…research has analysed the conditionality of international and subnational tax competition by showing that several political, fiscal and institutional factors constrain a race-to-the-bottom (Hays 2003;Basinger & Hallerberg 2004; Plümper et al. 2009; Wasserfallen 2014; Gilardi & Wasserfallen 2016).”
Economic Policy, Institutions, and Capital Flows: Portfolio and Direct Investment Flows in Developing Countries (2006, background): “This convergence hypothesis has not been borne out in empirical studies of tax rates (Basinger and Hallerberg 2004) while Garrett (1995, 1998) shows that domestic political considerations shape the manner in which trade liberalization affects macroeconomic policies in rich democracies.”
A spatial model incorporating dynamic, endogenous network interdependence: A political science application (2010, background): “, Basinger and Hallerberg [4] or Franzese and Hays [21,23]).”
Globalization as ‘Galton's Problem’: The Missing Link in the Analysis of Diffusion Patterns in Welfare State Development (2006, background): “The analysis was conducted in the standard tradition of TSCS data with panelcorrected standard errors ~PCSE! and a for first-order autoregression correction+ I also included a full set of country and year dummies, which is particularly important when analyzing welfare states+73 Year dummies capture ”
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT CORPORATE TAX COMPETITION? (2013, background): “For example Basinger and Hallerberg (2004) find a positive correlation of neighbours tax changes on the change of the taxation.”
Interdependence in Comparative Politics (2008, unknown): “Basinger and Hallerberg (2004) take the next step, stating that if “countries with higher political costs are less likely to enact reforms, [this] reduces competing countries’ incentives to reform regardless of their own political costs” (p.”
Model specification in the analysis of spatial dependence (2010, background): “Second, Basinger and Hallerberg (2004) explain persistently high capital tax rates by the existence of veto-players which prevent some governments from lowering tax rates.”
Problems (and solutions) in the measurement of policy diffusion mechanisms (2015, background): “Tax competition is the prototypical example (Basinger and Hallerberg 2004; Cao 2010; Genschel and Schwarz 2011), although competitive dynamics can also be found in many other areas of economic policy, such as capital account and exchange rate policies (Simmons and Elkins 2004), bilateral investment ”
The Economic Origins of Democracy Reconsidered (2012, result): “These findings are consistent with the “system of constraints” results in Swank and Steinmo (2002) and the “tournament” model in Basinger and Hallerberg (2004).”
Tax Policy in an Era of Internationalization: Explaining the Spread of Neoliberalism (2006, background): “…Tax Reform Act+ The act embodied the fundamentals of the new tax policy paradigm: 13+ See, among others, Ganghof and Eccleston 2004; Hays 2003; and Basinger and Hallerberg 2004+ 14+ In the analysis to follow, I assume that all policymakers seek to maximize—subject to political economic and…”
Why is there no race to the bottom in capital taxation (2009, methodology): “Third, the results for the 1-year lagged annual growth rates are again consistent with earlier findings (Basinger and Hallerberg 2004; Swank and Steinmo 2002).”
Spatial Effects in Dyadic Data (2010, background): “…top-down approaches to diffusion!, externalities ~Simmons and Elkins 2004; and Franzese and Hays 2006!, competition ~Hallerberg and Basinger 1998; and Basinger and Hallerberg 2004!, cooperation ~Genschel and Plümper 1997!, learning ~Mooney 2001; and Meseguer 2005!, and emulation ~Weyland…”
