title: Property tax and inter-municipal migration in Canada:  a multivariate test of the Tiebout hypothesis.
abstract: "This paper tests the causal ordering between property taxes and inter-municipal migration, using both bivariate and multivariate methods.  Empirical results, based on annual data for post-war Canada (1940-84), support the Tiebout-Tullock hypothesis, which implies that differential local tax [systems] and public services induce intercommunity migration, inter alia. Local spending and taxation are not therefore fully capitalized in property values."
