However, if cooperation through the joint delivery of local public services is likely to be welfare enhancing for the agglomeration, but will lead to losses for one of the parties, it is unlikely that the losing municipality will cooperate. Using a unique panel dataset of 30,000 French municipalities for 1995-2003, we estimate the relationship between cooperation decision and the fiscal revenues raised to provide local public goods. We employ a new econometric strategy based on Lee (1978), developing a non linear method controlling for fixed effect, endogenous covariates and cluster standard error. We find evidence that a positive difference between the expected fiscal revenues of a cooperating locality and the actual revenues realized by an isolated locality significantly increases the probability of joining an inter-municipal community.","PeriodicalId":385898,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Local Politics & Policy (Topic)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133641251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consistent with recent research, this analysis incorporates measures of fragmentation and concentration in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Additionally, this analysis explicitly takes into account the potential simultaneity between individual preferences for the spatial arrangement of local governments and the size of the local public workforce using the element of time. The result suggest that increased levels of fragmentation lead to a decrease in the size of the local public workforce; however, the results are complex. Concentration of the local public workforce into counties and special purpose governments tend to increase the overall local public workforce.","PeriodicalId":385898,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Local Politics & Policy (Topic)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125872787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The assumption of the writer is that revenues generated by urban councils are inadequate. The elasticity of the revenue bases is limited. Besides own revenues, urban councils are assisted by central governments through grants like matching (tied) grants, block (untied or general) grants and specific (tied) grants. However, the principles of good governance that could be followed by urban councils include; transparency, accountability, responsibility, rule of law, democratic participatory decision making and many others. Different academics are influenced by their academic backgrounds and have defined these principles differently. To implement the principles, urban councils need to establish clear and correct financial administrative and control systems. They also need good institutional structures because there is a strong link between institutional development and the establishment of good governance. Thus many problems associated with financial management that are confronted by urban councils seem to emanate from poor administration, poor auditing system, poor decision making, poor financial management strategies and lack of skilled manpower. Reforms are retarded by lack of political (councilors) and professional (employees) commitment.","PeriodicalId":385898,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Local Politics & Policy (Topic)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121223568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conduit financings, where one entity issues debt on behalf of a government, including bond pools, where multiple governments issue debt together, are methods that offer the potential to reduce the burdens of participating governments, ideally lowering their costs. But conduit hosts have costs of their own to cover and may not be able to offer a cost advantage to their participants. In this paper we examine debt issued under the Marks Roos Act of 1985, a law created to facilitate pooling but actually used for conduit financing. We seek to determine how issuers fare using this mechanism rather than issuing by themselves. We examine issuance costs and borrowing costs (true interest cost) and find both to be significantly lower for those governments that issued by themselves.","PeriodicalId":385898,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Local Politics & Policy (Topic)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128875296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is often difficult to distinguish neatly between merely historical and specifically cultural explanations, because the notion of culture is mostly introduced without a clearly elaborated theoretical foundation (Herrmann-Pillath 2010). In particular, it is difficult to distinguish neatly between cultural explanations and theories about institutional legacies (for example, Djankov et al. 2003). In current economic analyses, culture appears to be a certain general property of certain populations that directly affects individual behavior and that is inherited from earlier generations via cultural transmission, and often checked empirically via population-of-origin dummies in the econometric models. However, this would also apply for institutional legacies in general (especially informal ones, which are partly independent from the formal institutions prevailing at a certain time and place). Hence, most of this research is not based on a fully fledged theory of culture, especially with reference to the relation between micro-level transmission mechanisms and aggregate phenomena, which are normally in focus when talking about ‘cultures’ in anthropology and sociology (for related methodological troubles in social capital research, see Durlauf 2003).","PeriodicalId":385898,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Local Politics & Policy (Topic)","volume":"162 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125951496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Government-wide, accrual-basis measures such as those required by GASB Statement 34 are potentially useful for assessing local government credit quality and pricing local government bonds because most local governments have capital-intensive infrastructure assets. I examine information relevance in the context of municipal bond credit analysis, primary market pricing, and secondary market pricing of new issue municipal bonds. I find that government-wide financial information does have incremental value relative to traditional fund-based measures. However, I also find that fund-based measures are far more relevant for assessing default risk and for pricing new issue municipal bonds. The clearest evidence of information relevance of the government-wide information for pricing efficiency in the secondary market. These results have implications for our understanding of the implications of accrual-basis accounting in US governments.","PeriodicalId":385898,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Local Politics & Policy (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130235243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper argues that while the advantages of using bonds to finance urban infrastructure are increasingly evident in emerging economies, the Nigerian government should exercise serious caution in establishing municipal bond market in Nigeria. The paper documents extensive evidence to show that a robust municipal bond market is unlikely to evolve in Nigeria unless there is improved market transparency, stable macroeconomic environment, fiscal discipline, developed local capacity for accounting, budgeting and financial management among others.","PeriodicalId":385898,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Local Politics & Policy (Topic)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122740523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
