Fiscal resilience, fiscal sustainability and social infrastructure expenditure: The impact of social spending on fiscal health in Austrian local governments
Purpose This study investigates the relationship between fiscal resilience during the 2007/2008 financial crisis and subsequent fiscal sustainability in 2,093 Austrian local governments. It particularly focuses on spatial dependencies and the influence of social infrastructure expenditure on enhancing fiscal health. Design/methodology/approach A unique three-step approach is employed in this study. First, fiscal resilience is evaluated using a Sp…
Socio-economic, political and fiscal drivers of unsustainable local land use decisions
For decades, various Austrian spatial planning strategies have emphasized the need to curb land consumption and land sealing. The growth paradigm in concrete land use planning is prevalent to this day: land consumption is still closely coupled to income (GDP) growth, while existing and newly introduced policy instruments were basically ineffective in curbing land consumption. Local decision-makers often expect to improve the fiscal position (muni…

Socio-economic and spatial determinants of municipal cultural spending
The determinants of the expenditure of Austrian municipalities for cultural affairs are ascertained in a panel time series framework. The Austrian municipalities spend about € 93 per capita a year for cultural affairs (approximately 4% of the total municipal expenditure). The econometric estimations revealed that the size of the municipality, and various socio-economic, fiscal and political variables, are the main determinants of municipal cultur…
Spatially Disaggregated Cultural Consumption: Empirical Evidence of Cultural Sustainability from Austria
The determinants of cultural consumption are rarely explored by means of travel demand (i.e., travel cost) models. In this paper, the empirical results are presented in regard to the frequency of attendance to cultural events as an indicator of cultural sustainability. Approximately 50% of the respondents who participated in a representative household survey in Austria stated that they would participate in cultural events at least once a year. Th…
Beyond Current Guidelines: A Proposal for Bringing Behavioral Economics to the Design and Analysis of Stated Preference Surveys
Urban and rural preferences for cultural policies and infrastructures
The preferences for cultural policies, and for local and regional cultural infrastructure (such as theatres, museums) are studied within a framework of stated preferences. The agreement to cultural policy statements is not substantially different between urban or rural areas. Most of the respondents expressed a general willingness to contribute to a (hypothetical) regional cultural fund to support thelocal cultural infrastructure. Their annual pe…
Visitors’ preferences for landscape conservation in Alpine environments: Differences across regions, conservation programmes, and socio-economic groups
In many regions, the scenic beauty of landscapes, and a high degree of ‘naturalness’, are paramount for tourism. The focus of the paper is on empirical estimates of the benefits of nature conservation programs in regard to different degrees of naturalness in two regions in the Austrian Alps. The results of an on-site survey indicate that most respondents would accept stricter nature conservation policies including restrictions of access to ecolog…

Benefits and Costs of Regulating and Restricting Chemicals: The European Union’s Reach System and Its Effects on the Austrian Economy
The European Union’s regulation for chemical safety (REACH) addresses the registration, evaluation, assessment, and consequent authorization (or restriction) of chemicals which are potentially harmful for both public health and the environment. The current study aims at ascertaining the costs and benefits of the REACH framework for the Austrian economy under major uncertainties, and draws on a wide range of databases on public and workplace healt…
