Abstract
We show that in a federal state with mobile population labor and capital income taxes do not suffice to achieve efficiency in general, but that they do suffice if the federation consists of just two types of regions. In the general case we study the resulting second-best problem and find that in the second-best optimum the level of public good provision is efficient, but neither capital nor labor is allocated efficiently.
