dc.description.abstractHow will international integration affect welfare policies? This paper considers the possibilities offinancing public sector activities (public consumption and social security expenses) by general(wage) taxation in an economy which becomes more integrated in international product markets.Even if labour is internationally immobile, the increased mobility of products and hence jobsimplies a change in the distortions arising from taxes and social security contributions levied onlabour income. Since financing of social security via general taxation involves a negativeexternality the effects of international integration depend critically on the institutional structure ofthe labour market. This paper shows that increased international integration inducing moreproduct market competition implies that it becomes more costly to maintain welfare systemsfinanced by general taxation.en
