Using very precise establishment-level data, the study examines the economic impacts of such taxes on all U.S. cities with populations over 40 thousand. Results indicate that activity-based city business taxes and sales taxes had statistically significant effects on the growths of business establishments and their related employment.}, DOI = {10.18488/journal.74/2016.3.1/74.1.1.13} }
