Abstract
Models with imperfect competition and intra-industry trade have become

widely accepted as appropriate frameworks within which to analyze the impact

of trade liberalization on industrial agglomeration. This paper makes one

modi…cation to the standard model; it allows for taxation of internationally

mobile capital. Making this change fundamentally alters the main lesson from

the tax literature that a country which faces perfectly internationally mobile

capital should not use source-based taxes on capital income. In particular, it

is shown that a country which hosts an agglomeration may actually increase

its welfare level per capita by levying a source-tax on capital income even if

capital can move costlessly between countries. It is thereby able to exploit the locational inertia created by agglomeration forces.
