Alternative voting rules and local expenditure: The town-meeting vs. city

Harvey Wheeler

Public Choice, 1967, vol. 2, issue 1, 70 pages

Abstract: Three hypotheses, which have been advanced by students of collective decision-making, have been subjected to crude test with data spanning nearly a century. That none of the three finds confirmation or refutation suggests that both our understanding of these processes and the refinement of available tests leave much to be desired. The empirical results surveyed here, as well as those of other writers, consistently yield highly tentative interpretations. At root many of the ambiguities are a product of the identification problem. (11) Copyright the Thomas Jefferson Center for Political Economy, Rouss Hall, University of Virginia 1967
