State income tax policy and geographic labour force mobility in the United States

Author

Listed:
  • Ira Saltz
Abstract
This study empirically investigates the impact of state income tax policy on US interstate migration for the period 1985-89. It finds that people vote with their feet and prefer to move so as to minimize their state income tax liabilities.
