An Analysis of Elementary and Secondary School Choice
Modeling Charitable Giving Using a Box-Cox Standard Tobit Model
There is a large literature investigating the determinants of charitable giving, in particular, price and income elasticities. We find that many of the most often reported results from this literature rely on a model specification that is inappropriate when applied to recent Federal Tax File data. We develop a standard Tobit model with a Box-Cox transformation parameter that nests a number of other specifications. The Box-Cox model yields estimat…
The Estimation and Interpretation of Urban Density Gradients
The negative-exponential varying-parameter, density-gradient model is generalized by introducing the Box–Cox transformation in conjunction with truncated and heteroscedastic errors. An interpretation of this density-gradient model is presented, based directly on the magnitude and response of the expected value of population density to changes in the model's conditioning variables. Previous studies interpreted the gradient parameters purely as des…

Property taxes, tax-cost illusion and desired education expenditures
Efficiency and Equity in the Provision of Public Education
The paper focuses on the benefits derived from public elementary and secondary education; monetary values of households' perceived benefits from operating expenditures are estimated. Information concerning the preference mappings of citizens is obtained using a random utility model to analyze micro voting data. The estimated model in turn provides information concerning the efficiency and distributional consequences of public education expenditur…
