This paper presents the re-examination of properties of optimal matching grant program, using the model of Bjorvatn and Schjelderup (2002). The result formally captures a quite counterintuitive property of matching grant that optimal matching grant rate might decrease with the degree of spillover externality.}, title = {Tax Competition, Spillovers, and Subsidies}, year = {2004} }
