Download or read book State and Local Finances Under Pressure written by David L. Sjoquist and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State and Local Finances under Pressure explores the future of state and local government fiscal systems given the numerous pressures they face from economic, legal, technological, demographic and political forces. It explores how these multiple forces play out in terms of the changes state and local governments should and are likely to make. The contributors argue that state and local governments must make substantial changes and that failure to act is likely to result in adverse effects and increasing pressures for modifications that are more difficult to implement and more politically unpalatable. Without reform, state and local fiscal systems will grow increasingly out of sync with economic reality. The authors suggest that government responses are likely to be evolutionary, but that in 25 years the recorded changes will be substantial. The first chapter provides a historic perspective of state and local fiscal trends. Each of the subsequent chapters describes the nature of one of the pressures state and local governments face including: political and legal forces, globalization of business, demographic and technological changes, deregulation of utilities, and urban sprawl. Policymakers, economists, political scientists, fiscal policy analysts and public administrators will find this comprehensive book of interest.

Download or read book Fiscal Federalism and State local Finance written by Jørn Rattsø and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reprints 23 carefully selected articles intended to provide a balanced view of the Scandinavian model of local financing, including perspectives from four of the five Nordic countries, leaving out Iceland's unique design. They cover style, reform, and performance; demand; political institutions; cost and control; and theory. Among the specific topics are reforming a centralized system of local public finance in Norway, local public expenditure in Sweden as a model in which the median voter is not necessarily decisive, real and perceived effects of changing the grant system from specific to general grants, a hedonic cost approach to cost efficiency in providing child care services, and the behavior of bureaucrats and the choice between single-purpose and multi-purpose authorities. Most of the studies consider Norway, reflecting the much greater research into the subject in that country. No subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Financing State and Local Governments written by J. Richard Aronson and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State and local governments are at a financial crossroads. As the federal government attempts to reduce its deficits, state governments will have to provide a greater share of support for mandatory social programs. Local governments face demands for new initiatives in education and for civic improvements. Both have obligations to employee pension plans that are large and still relatively untested. Running counter to these claims on state and local budgets is a voter effort to limit the amounts that governments may tax or spend. This fourth edition of James A. Maxwell's classic and widely acclaimed book will help both layman and lawmaker understand the choices open to their governments. It provides a lucid, nontechnical analysis of state and local finance. It gives concise descriptions of the taxes, grants, debt issues, and user charges that finance state and local government and discusses their relative virtues and drawbacks. It traces the history of state and local finance and presents statistical data on expenditures, federal aid, revenue from taxes and user charges, debt, and pension funds. The new edition, in recognition of changes since the mid-1970s, also includes a separate chapter on financing education and broadened analyses of federal grant programs, employee retirement systems, and nonguaranteed municipal debt.
Download or read book State and Local Public Finance written by Ronald C. Fisher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its 4th edition, State and Local Public Finance provides a comprehensive and sophisticated analysis of state and local government public finance practices and issues, using the basic tools of economics. For this new edition, there is a focus on the most important services provided in the state-local sector: education, health and welfare, public safety, and transportation. This textbook provides an examination and analysis of public finance practices and problems in a federal fiscal system, focusing on the fiscal behaviour and policies of state and local governments. The author presents detailed descriptions of significant institutions. Modern economic theory is applied to examine the way these institutions are used to produce and finance services, and to provide evaluation of alternative policies. Although the emphasis is on U.S. institutions and issues, much of the economic analysis can be applied to any federal system or to fiscal decentralization. This fully revised new edition sees updates throughout to data, topics, and applications. The Headlines and Applications sections reflect the most current policy issues affecting state and local governments. These include the effects of the Great Recession on state and local governments, changes in the tax treatment of internet purchases, the Affordable Care Act and implications for Medicaid spending by state governments, demographic changes and the implications for state-local finances, the implications of changes in automobile technology for transportation financing, and the potential for increased gambling activity. This text will continue to be invaluable reading for those who study public finance, local government finance, urban economics and public policy and public administration.
