dc.description.abstract | Abstract. This paper analyzes local public fiscal and spending behavior in a setting where
local governments, represented by the dominant party or coalition, are treated as utility maximizing
agents. The econometric analysis, which is based on a modified version of ELES,
recognizes total spending as well as total income as endogenous variables. Identification of the
price effects is achieved by utilizing data on environmental cost factors and local tastes. The
performance of the estimated model is investigated by testing its ability to make out-of-sample
predictions of local government behavior. | no_NO |
