Alternative Financing Models for Transportation: A Case Study of Land Taxation in Utah
Recent events have highlighted the consequences of inadequate attention to infrastructure funding. Current funding strategies focus on fuel taxes, transfers from general funds, user fees, toll roads, congestion pricing, and using technology to enhance the fee structure of the current system. This article examines another alternative, a property tax focused on the value of land, known as land tax. A land tax would be economically efficient, in tha…
Annexation Activity and State Law in the United States
This article explores the impact of 15 separate provisions of state annexation laws on seven different measures of annexation activity. This analysis uses annexation data from 42 states between 1990 and 1998. The analysis finds that there are different patterns of annexation activity for laws designed to constrain annexation, as compared with laws designed to facilitate annexation. Laws designed to facilitate annexation are likely to be associate…

Budget Change in Georgia Counties: Examining Patterns and Practices
Despite the importance of budget reform and its seeming connections to the environment, few studies have analyzed the determinants of budget reform and the effects of environment on budget systems. This article presents a framework for understanding changes in local government budgetary process and format. Based on survey results from 100 of the 159 counties in Georgia, it examines empirically the effects of both internal and external factors on …
Individual Conceptions of Public Service Motivation
Many scholars and practitioners of public administration converge on the belief that some individuals are predisposed to perform public service. James L. Perry (1996) recently clarified the public service motivation (PSM) construct and proposed a measurement scale. The present study builds on and extends this important stream of research by examining how individuals view the motives associated with public service. Specifically, we use an intensiv…
Determinants of Graduate Research Productivity in Doctoral Programs of Public Administration
Given that research is the first step in improved practice, how can public administration doctoral programs train more productive research scholars? This article reports details on the first systematic attempt to answer this question empirically. Specifically, the authors collect data from 47 NASPAA-affiliated doctoral programs and test conventional wisdom distilled from the literature. Three factors prove to be important in doctoral programs tha…
