A median voter analysis of variations in the use of property taxes among local governments

David Sjoquist

Public Choice, 1981, vol. 36, issue 2, 273-285

Abstract: This paper explores the variations among local governments in the composition of tax revenues, or more specifically, in the relative use of property taxes. Using a median voter framework, various hypotheses are developed concerning the factors that should influence the relative use of property taxes. A cross-sectional sample of central cities is employed to test the hypotheses. The empirical results are consistent with the hypotheses. Copyright Martinus Nijhoff Publishers 1981
