Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

For the student of government the need is to develop a way of classifying governmental systems which aids in understanding the public policies that emerge from them. The variables which must be included in such a classification (there undoubtedly are others) are: (1) the allocation of expenditure and revenue responsibilities between state and local governments and between local governments; (2) the system of state aid; (3) the nature of the property tax; (4) the degree of functional inclusiveness; . . . A realistic analysis of the behavior of local officials and the policies they pursue in the spread city must take into account the unique mix of these factors.L
