23	Expenditure Interactions between Municipalities and the Role of Agglomeration Forces: A spatial analysis for North Rhine-Westphalia Langer, Sebastian 30 May 2018 (has links) (PDF) This paper analyzes municipal expenditures in the light of horizontal fiscal interactions. I investigate total expenditures and a set of non-earmarked expenditure subcategories in the largest German federal state, North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). The empirical analysis is based on a Spatial Durbin Model in a panel for the years 2009-2015. Using a two-regime spatial matrix, I also examine the impact of agglomeration on the intensity of public expenditure interactions, thus testing the hypothesis that an agglomerated region can decrease the amount of public goods without losing mobile factors to the periphery. The findings indicate that significant municipal expenditure interaction effects do exist. The reaction functions also vary for different expenditure subcategories. Unlike spillover effects and fiscal competition, yardstick competition is an insignificant source of potential interactions. Expenditure interaction is fiercer if there is less agglomeration in a municipality. Urbanized and populous municipalities appear to benefit from agglomeration economies, a fact that enables them to spend less. Robustness checks confirm the findings.

24	The Flypaper Effect in Germany: An East-West Comparison Korzhenevych, Artem, Langer, Sebastian 15 November 2016 (has links) (PDF) We investigate the effect of general-purpose transfers on different expenditure categories and tax rates in the municipalities of Saxony (eastern Germany) and North Rhine-Westphalia (western Germany). Findings from the panel data analysis suggest the existence of the “flypaper effect” – municipalities use transfers to increase expenditures but do not reduce taxes. For most expenditure subcategories the estimated coefficients are alike, suggesting similarity of spending priorities in the two federal states despite the differences in the transfer dependency. Targeted support of eastern municipalities could potentially explain few identified differences in the spending behavior.

Die Arbeit zeigt, dass vor allem das Steuersystem des Landes voll von Unvollkommenheiten ist. Steuergesetze sind eher rudimentär, sehen viele Vergünstigungen vor und sind sehr unstabil. Ständige Gesetzesänderungen infolge der politischen Instabilität erschweren den Überblick und komplizieren die Arbeit der Steuerzahler erheblich. Zudem ist die Steuerverwaltung immer noch organisatorisch schwach und korruptionsanfällig, was zu einer schlechten Implementierung der Gesetze führt. Dies ist vor allem bei der Zollbehörde evident. Die Unfähigkeit der Steuerverwaltung, ausreichende Finanzmittel für die Finanzierung der öffentlichen Ausgaben sicherzustellen hat ständige Haushaltsdefizite bewirkt, was zu einer sehr schnellen Anhäufung der Staatsschuld geführt hat. Bereits wenige Jahre nach Beginn der Transition machten die Zinszahlungen den wichtigsten Posten bei den öffentlichen Ausgaben Albaniens aus.

26	The Size of the Government and Economic Growth: An Empirical Study of Sri Lanka Herath, Shanaka 04 1900 (has links) (PDF) The new growth theory establishes, among other things, that government expenditure can manipulate economic growth of a country. This study attempts to explain whether government expenditure increases or decreases economic growth in the context of Sri Lanka. Results obtained applying an analytical framework based on time series and second degree polynomial regressions are generally consistent with previous findings: government expenditure and economic growth are positively correlated; excessive government expenditure is negatively correlated with economic growth; and an open economy promotes growth. In a separate section, the paper examines Armey's (1995) idea of a quadratic curve that explains the level of government expenditure in an economy and the corresponding level of economic growth. The findings confirm the possibility of constructing the Armey curve for Sri Lanka, and it estimates the optimal level of government expenditure to be approximately 27 per cent. This paper adds to the literature indicating that the Armey curve is a reality not only for developed economies, but also for developing economies.(author's abstract) / Series: SRE - Discussion Papers RVK QL 300, QC 340 ; JEL C32, F43, H50

28	Do mergers of large local governments reduce expenditures? - Evidence from Germany using the synthetic control method Roesel, Felix 20 October 2017 (has links) (PDF) States merge local governments to achieve economies of scale. Little is known to which extent mergers of county-sized local governments reduce expenditures, and influence political outcomes. I use the synthetic control method to identify the effect of mergers of large local governments in Germany (districts) on public expenditures. In 2008, the German state of Saxony reduced the number of districts from 22 to 10. Average district population increased substantially from 113,000 to 290,000 inhabitants. I construct a synthetic counterfactual from states that did not merge districts for years. The results do neither show reductions in total expenditures, nor in expenditures for administration, education, and social care. There seems to be no scale effects in jurisdictions of more than 100,000 inhabitants. By contrast, I find evidence that mergers decreased the number of candidates and voter turnout in district elections while vote shares for populist right-wing parties increased.
