The off-diagonal elements of the table report the effect of a one-unit increase (1 percent) in the column country’s top marginal individual tax rate on
other Eastern European nations. The immediate spatial effects are calculated using the spatial multiplier matrix (ʃ — p∏j (Ffanzese and Hays 2006,
7-12). Standard errors are in parenthesis. Effects exceeding twice their standard errors are in bold and starred.
