Book excerpt: The second paper attempts to estimate the tax potential of two sources of revenue for local governments: local taxes and property tax--by using the special regression analysis of the stochastic frontier. Our empirical findings show that none of the local governments have maximized their tax potential. If all local governments were able to utilize all their tax potential, then they would get very substantial additional tax revenues (0.14 and 0.18 percent of GDP from local taxes and property tax, respectively, while current total local tax revenue is about 0.36 percent of GDP).
