DESCRIPTION:Dr. Rainer Widmann\, Max Planck Institute\n"Immigrant inventor
 s and local income taxes: evidence from Swiss municipalities" \n\nAbstract
 \nThis paper studies the relationship between local personal income tax ra
 tes and the at- tractiveness of municipalities as residential locations fo
 r immigrant inventors in Switzerland. Exploiting sharp differences in top 
 income tax rates across state borders\, I find an elasticity of the probab
 ility that an inventor locates in a municipality with respect to the top n
 et-of-tax rate of around 3.54. I discuss that income tax rates may affect 
 the localization of entrepreneurial activity of immigrant inventors.\n
