    Abstract

    Using the Greater Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area as a case study, this paper studies the interaction between intrametropolitan migration and the fiscal capacity of local authorities. The analysis concludes that municipalities with high resident out-migration generate higher per capita incomes than migrant-recipient municipalities. This paradoxical situation may be due to the fact that non-residential land uses yield higher local taxes than residential ones.
