Our analysis suggests that heterogeneity does not necessarily reduce local public spending due to two factors: (1) the low price elasticity of demand for local public goods and (2) the substitution between public goods. Using data from American cities and school districts from…

Gould and Segall argued that the introduction of a third, composite good vitiates the Alchian and Allen (A-A) theorem that a common charge on two substitute goods leads, real income held constant, to a relative increase in the consumption of the higher to lower quality commodity. Using Hicks's third law, however, it is demonstrated that the direct substitution effect tends to dominate the interaction effect with the third good, if the two substit…
