Download or read book The Challenge of Local Government Size written by Santiago Lago-Peñas and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the efficient delivery of local public services, size matters. Many countries around the world have vertical government structures that are perceived as inefficient because of their high levels of jurisdictional fragmentation. This timely volume examines the different strategies used to address local government fragmentation and their observed results and consequences. Expert contributors in economics and political science offer a comprehensive breakdown of the issue of local jurisdiction fragmentation and provide recommendations for successful policy reform. Topics discussed include economies of scale, the costs and benefits of voluntary and forced amalgamation programs, the correlation between government size and corruption, privatization, and inter-municipal cooperation. A combination of theory and empirical evidence provides depth and makes this book an invaluable addition to the literature. Economists, public administrators and political scientists will find much of interest in this innovative volume, as will professors, students and international institutions with an interest in local government structure and reform.

Download or read book Local Government Budget Stabilization written by Yilin Hou and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive, full-scale treatment of the politics, law, and economics with regard to the policies and policy instruments for budget stabilization at the local level. It examines budget stabilization in the United States from the 1910s to 2010 (from adoption of public budgeting in this country through the Great Recession). In addition, it provides details on the methods and results of empirical tests of the effects of budget stabilization instruments on government operations, key/basic services provision, and some other aspects of social and economic life at the local level, including full-purpose governments (county, metro city, municipality, township, and village) as well as special (single-) purpose governments (like school districts and transportation districts). This book dissects an important and pressing issue in public financial administration, analyzes a lesson that has been in the learning process, especially in the United States, and identifies theoretical threads for scholarly refinement, which will be put into specific contexts of policy design and implementation. This book will be of interest to scholars in political science, economics, public choice and in public administration, where it will also appeal to policy-makers.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses the findings from a mail survey of local government economic development activities that was sent to all 540 municipalities and 100 counties in North Carolina. An important part of the analysis examines whether cities and counties differ significantly in their economic development efforts and whether smaller jurisdictions employ different types of development strategies and tools than larger ones. The survey findings also highlight the barriers that local governments face in promoting economic development and identify important technical assistance needs and gaps in local capacity.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Local Government written by Brian Dollery and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dollery (economics, U. of New England, Australia) and Wallis (economics, Otago U., New Zealand) attempt to explain local policy formation and outcomes from a variety of economic models, including the theory of fiscal federalism, the market failure paradigm, and the "new institutional economics." Particularly referring to local government reforms in the U.K. and New Zealand, the authors look at the extent to which minimalist and activist approaches to matching local functions to local capacity can be related to the different styles of policy leadership that may be required to advance reform. In contrast to many of their colleagues, they stress the uses of social capital to be used by localities to exploit comparative institutional advantage. c. Book News Inc.
