Next, consider the case in which one country adopts one tax scheme while the other adopts another one. Suppose, for instance, that the home country adopts the residence principle, while the foreign country adopts the source principle. In this case we have (29) t;D = tgF, tERD = O,tiD = tiRD’tiF = 0 , and, again, (26) is satisfied. However, if the two countries do not stick to one of the two polar schemes, then (26) need not hold and no sensible world equilibrium exists. Suppose, for instance, that each country levies the same tax rate on its residents (irrespective of the source of their income) and also all nonresidents investing in that country.

In this case, income is taxed according to its source, regardless of the residency of the taxpayer. This implies that (27) tiD = tERD,tiD = f;RD, t;F = t& = 0, so that (26) is satisfied and we can have a world equilibrium with positive rates of interest. 22 Assaf Razin and Efraim Sadka Similarly, consider the case where both countries adopt the residence principle: income is taxed according to the residency of the taxpayer, regardless of its source. This implies that (28) tgD = tgF, tiD = tgF, tERD = tLRD= 0, so that, again, (26) is satisfied.
