You’re Fired: County Manager Turnover in Large American Counties
American counties are emerging as leaders in local governance. As such, they are being called on to provide a wide array of new services to an ever-growing population. County managers acting as top-level administrators are known to play a critical role in the provision of these services. County managers, however, are affected by a multitude of factors that contribute to abridged tenures; a scenario that can have harmful effects on organizational …
Predicting Turnover of Appointed County Managers in Large American Counties
Researchers have suggested that American counties are emerging as leaders in local governance. This is mainly attributed to counties being called on to provide a whole host of new services to an ever-growing population. County managers are known to play a critical role in the provision of these services. Thus, the extent of turnover among county managers can significantly affect the services provided to a community. To date, researchers know very…
Turnover among City Managers: The Role of Political and Economic Change
Executive turnover can have profound effects on city policies, programs, and commitments such as contracting or issuing debt. This article identifies how political changes, reflected in the composition of the city council, and economic changes in the community influence city manager turnover. Analysis of manager turnover patterns in 143 large U.S. cities with council‐manager governments from 1987 to 1999 allows us to distinguish “push” and “pull”…
The chicken or the egg: A recent history of public opinion and tax reform in Florida
Public dislike of taxes led to tax revolt and tax reform. Despite the connection between tax attitudes and tax policy, relatively little is known about public attitudes toward taxes over time, and how public opinion either shapes or is shaped by changes in tax policy. We examine the link between opinion and changes in tax policy in Florida, where the public’s view of sales and property taxes was surveyed consistently from 1979-1997, a time when b…
Environmental Protection Versus Economic Development: A False Trade‐Off
Is a trade‐off between the social benefits of regulation and the economic benefits of development inevitable? We argue that environmental regulation may deter economic growth in some contexts, however, in other contexts the benefits of regulation may be obtained with little or no economic loss. We develop an explanation of the economic impacts of state environmental policy based on a model of public influence on private resource allocation decisi…
Health Reform in the States: A Model Of State Small Group Health Insurance Market Reforms
For the fourth time since World War II, national policymakers, in 1992, engaged in a major debate over reforming and regulating the U.S. health care system. One of the most debated issues involved the problem of the uninsured. While Congress and the President garnered national attention debating the issue, several states were already dealing with the issue of health insurance and their own uninsurance problems. Today, in the absence of activity a…
Explaining the Tenure of Local Government Managers
Attempts to explain manager tenure based on conflict or ambition have systematically examined neither local government institutions that define the powers and contractual obligations of managers nor more macro political system structures. Analysis of tenure patterns for eighty-one local government managers confirms both the conflictual environment in which managers work and career characteristics influencing patterns of tenure. We add to this by …
