Abstract
This paper addresses the relationship between the spatial structure of local government partitioning of economic space, the spatial pattern of local tax expenditure decisions, and the spatial process of welfare and profitability for the individual or company business. Attention is restricted here to analysis of effects on business profitability A non-linear model is developed that permits the measurement of spatial gradients of profit between locations. Then this model is estimated for the UK in 1980.
