Tax Competitiveness and Interstate Migration

Recently, we published our updated and rebranded State Tax Competitiveness Index (STCI), which measures how well states’ tax systems are structured and how competitive their tax rates and bases are compared to other US states. The Index does not measure the standard of living in a given state or its economic growth prospects per se. Yet, an interesting empirical question arises: does tax competitiveness impact various demographic and socioeconomic outcomes? An existing body of literature already associates competitive taxation with economic growth, but we hope academic researchers and policy experts will use data from our updated Index to further investigate this issue.
