Community choice and local public services: a discrete choice approach

Article Abstract:

A study evaluates effects of local public services on household location choices. The study applies a discrete choice approach of estimation using data on incomes, property holdings, number of children and community choices on a household basis. Local commitment to public education and local house and tax prices can also partially account for individual community preferences. Characteristics of communities such as crime rates and levels of commercial activity also helped explain these individual community choices.

Demographic shift, relative costs and the allocation of local public consumption in Norway

Article Abstract:

The response of local governments to demands on their services is investigated. A voter group decision model is used in studying the allocation of local public consumption for six services among different age groups subjected to a budget constraint. The model is applied to an AIDS demand system in Norway. Age groups in decline were found to benefit in terms of spending per head.
