Research Note: Reexamining the Suburban Exploitation Thesis in American Metropolitan Areas
The argument that suburbs exploit cities has been made so often that it seems incontestable. Adherents to that view, however, rarely produce evidence for exploitation where suburban-generated benefits have been measured and compared with suburban-generated costs. Studies that examine only costs are not convincing evidence that suburbs damage cities. Relatedly, what evidence exists that metropolitan government fragmentation damages cities, while c…

Residential Community Associations and the American Intergovernmental System
Despite their growth and functional similarity to census-listed governments, residential community associations (RCAs) represent a little-researched feature of American federalism. This study employs survey data from a national sample of RCAs to examine how these organizations relate to other parts of local government systems. The findings underscore the similarity of RCAs to local government with regard to service provision, intergovernmental co…
Revisiting Tiebout: Moving Rationales and Interjurisdictional Relocation
This article evaluates a key component of the model of local public expenditures put forth by Charles Tiebout and embraced by analysts in the public choice tradition. Central to this model is the assumption that citizens who are unhappy with local government policies have an incentive to relocate to a different jurisdiction that offers preferable taxes and services. Using data from a survey of actual movers in over fifty communities (including a …
Further Tests of Individual-Level Propositions from the Tiebout Model
Urban researchers have begun to reexamine Charles Tiebout's ideas about citizen-consumer locational choice in metropolitan areas. David Lowery and William Lyons, among others, have empirically investigated assumptions which underpin Tiebout's thesis using individual-level rather than aggregate data. The purpose of this research note is to contribute to this evolving exploration of Tiebout propositions by presenting relevant individual-level data …
A Test of Political Bias in Scholars' Preference for Measuring Fiscal Strain
We hypothesized that specialists' preference for measuring fiscal strain by using environmental/socioeconomic indicators would correlate with liberal political attitudes, and preference for governmental/fiscal indicators would correlate with conservative political attitudes. Reasons for the hypothesis are offered. Data are analyzed from a survey of authors of journal articles about fiscal strain, but no such correlations emerge. This evidence tha…
Conditions of State Aid to Distressed Communities
Several studies have been undertaken to explain state aid to local governments and to ascertain if state aid is "responsive" to cities and urban problems. Most scholars have interpreted their findings with reference to the state role in the federal system. This study examines state aid to distressed communities (a category of aid programs created by the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations). We find that, independent of other factor…

Municipal Retrenchment as Value Conflict
One way researchers can help cost cutters is to clarify the values that are at stake in retrenchment, assuming that in most municipalities spending will continue to grow unless the values that sustain it are weakened. This essay is a start in the direction of systematically identifying values used as resources to defend current spending practices and to challenge them. The several values listed here have been used in the contest over municipal sp…

Fringe-City Life-Style Distance and Fringe Support of Political Integration
Aggregate data indexes of differences in life style between cities and fringes are correlated with fringe electoral support of political integration referenda. Contrary to the hypothesized relationship, life-style distance in the fringes' favor is positively correlated with fringe support. Several explanations are considered, and the one found to fit the data best suggests a desire for public services by residents of high-growth, familistic fring…
