Journal of Public Economics, 2012
Abstract The Tiebout model has been the reference point for the classical approach to fiscal federalism. Its emphasis on mobility, benefit taxation, and the advantages of fiscal competition have informed fiscal federalism since the seminal contributions of Musgrave and Oates.

Revisiting Tiebout's Model: A Classroom Exercise

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010
In this paper we use a classroom exercise to reveal the main efficiency and equity aspects of the Tiebout hypothesis. We conduct and extend the exercise developed by Brouhle et al (2005) by including a second phase in which students have the opportunity to evaluate the implications of the Tiebout model when both individual incomes and preferences are ...

The Microfoundations of the Tiebout Model

Urban Affairs Review, 1998
The authors extend the argument of the marginal consumer to show an important way in which the microlevel requirements of the Tiebout model can be met. They critique the existing literature on the microlevel requirements and argue that the way research has been conducted on the information about public goods possessed by citizens has been flawed in ...

Assessing the Micro-Foundations of the Tiebout Model

Urban Affairs Review, 2006
In this article, we seek to shed light on the micro-foundations of the Tiebout model. We use a survey of respondents in four of the largest United States metropolitan areas to analyze factors that contribute to households' exiting behavior. In this analysis, we explore the types of reasons likely movers offer to explain a potential move.

Exiting behavior under Tiebout conditions: Towards a predictive model

Public Choice, 1996
The paper briefly reviews recent research that adapts and extends the Tiebout model of residential choice, paying special attention to those studies which utilize Hirschman's exit, voice and loyalty model. The paper argues that these are theoretically and empirically flawed since they do not take account of Tiebout-rational intra-jurisdictional moves ...

A Tiebout/tax-competition model

Journal of Public Economics, 2000
Abstract This paper analyzes a Tiebout/tax-competition model, where heterogeneity of consumer preferences is introduced into a standard tax-competition framework. Following the modern Tiebout tradition, consumer sorting in the model is achieved through the activities of profit-maximizing community developers. Once sorting is achieved, the equilibrium

Political Institutions and Sorting in a Tiebout Model

2003
The authors construct a computational model of Tiebout competition and show that political institutions differ in their ability to sort citizens effectively. In particular, they find that certain types of institutions--those that become more 'politically unstable' as citizen heterogeneity increases--perform relatively poorly given a single jurisdiction,
