Expenditures And Receipts In State And Local Government Finances: Reply, Michael L. Marlow, Neela Manage Dec 1988

Expenditures And Receipts In State And Local Government Finances: Reply, Michael L. Marlow, Neela Manage

Economics

Chowdhury (1988) adopts an alternative technique to test for causality between expenditures and receipts of state and loyal governments and claims that he obtains results that are different from those reported in our 1987 paper (Marlow and Manage, 1987). We disagree with many of his criticisms. In this reply, we argue that he misinterprets our results and policy implications and that his results are really not much different from ours; in fact, sometimes his results provide stronger support of our hypothesis.

Fiscal Decentralization And Government Size, Michael L. Marlow Mar 1988

Fiscal Decentralization And Government Size, Michael L. Marlow

Economics

Numerous studies have attempted to model the possible factors contributing to universal growth in public sectors. This paper analyzes one device that appears capable of controlling some of that growth: fiscal decentralization. The results reported here also support the use of monopoly government assumptions in models of public policy. The author gratefully acknowledges the comments of Angelo R. Mascaro, Gordon Tullock and an anonymous referee. Views expressed here are of the author alone and do not necessarily represent those of the U.S. Department of Treasury.
