Does Baumol's Cost Disease Account for Nonfederal Public‐Sector Cost Growth in the United States? A New Test of an Old Idea
Objectives To examine if Baumol's cost disease of the service sector offers an explanation for the growth of state and local government costs in the United States. Methods The study tests whether state‐wide increases in wage rates relative to productivity influence the growth of state and local government spending using a relatively new econometric test along with a panel data set of the 50 states over the period from 1980 to 2009. Results Findin…
Not-for-Profit Hospital CEO Performance and Pay: Some Evidence from Connecticut
This paper uses observations from a panel data set of 35 chief executive officers (CEOs) from 29 not-for-profit hospitals in Connecticut over the period 1998 to 2006 to investigate the relationship between CEO performance and pay. Both economic and charity performance measures are specified in the empirical model. The multiple regression results reveal that not-for-profit hospital CEOs, at least in Connecticut, are driven at the margin to increas…
The Demand for Local Public Health Services: Do Unified and Independent Public Health Departments Spend Differently
OBJECTIVE: To identify the factors affecting the demand for local public health services and to compare the spending patterns of independent and unified public health departments. DATA SOURCES/STUDY SETTING: Cross-sectional data for 2004 from various public health departments in Connecticut. STUDY DESIGN: Uses probit analysis to examine the factors affecting the consolidation of public health departments. These results help correct for sample sel…
Ownership Form and Consumer Welfare: Evidence from the Nursing Home Industry
This paper compares the likely consumer benefits of higher quality with the potentially greater production costs that result from increased not-for-profit activity in a nursing home services market area. The comparison of consumer benefits and costs is made possible by observing empirically how an increased market penetration of not-for-profit facilities affects the use of private-pay nursing home care. Increased (decreased) use of nursing home c…

Representative versus direct democracy: The role of public bureaucrats
A Test of Executive Behavior in the Local Public Sector
This paper provides an empirical framework to test three competing theories regarding the behavior of public executives in the local public sector. These alternative theo- ries are the public interest, median-voter and expense preference (or surplus-maximizing Leviathan) models. This study tests these various theories by determining whether aggregate property values, the median-value of housing or administra- tive expenditures is a more significa…
