Abstract

This article estimates the relationship between business establishment location and split-rate property taxation. Using variation in split-rate adoption and intensity by municipalities across Pennsylvania, I apply data from the Census’s County Business Patterns (CBP) between 1994 and 2017 to estimate difference-in-difference (DiD) style models. Findings suggest that moving from conventional property taxation to a split-rate system is associated with an initial increase of between 60 and 107 business establishments. The number of business establishments does not appear to be sensitive to changes in the split-rate ratio after implementation, but the initial increase in the number of establishments declines each year after implementation by between 3.3 and 5.5 establishments, or about 5 percent.

分步税率与企业设立地点:来自宾夕法尼亚州经验的证据

本文分析了企业设立地点与分割税率财产税之间的关系。利用宾夕法尼亚州各城市拆分率采用和强度的变化，我应用1994年至2017年人口普查县商业模式(CBP)的数据来估计差异中差异(DiD)风格模型。调查结果表明，从传统的财产税转向分税制与最初增加60至107家商业机构有关。商业机构的数量似乎对实施后分割率的变化并不敏感，但在实施后，企业数量的最初增长每年下降3.3至5.5家，或约5%。
