Abstract
This study develops a simple model for analyzing excise tax setting in a competitive framework. Then, this study utilizes a dynamic space-time panel econometric model to explore cigarette and beer tax rate setting from U.S. states from 1960-2007. The empirical findings support the model predictions. Both cigarette and beer taxes are highly persistent, but cigarette tax rates are more competitive (spatially correlated) across states.
