A chapter in Measurement in Public Choice, 1981, pp 47-56 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This paper applies the weak complementarity approach to the problem of estimating the demand for school quality and other local public goods. Using the same data used by Oates (1969) in his classic study, a demand function for housing is estimated, from which the efficient relative levels of public goods provision are computed. The statistical problems involved in estimating a housing demand function from cross-section data are discussed.
