Abstract: Numerous earlier studies have, for the most part, found empirical support for the Tiebout-Tullock hypothesis for the periods of the 1950s and 1960s. The present study draws on more recent data, including the 1980 Census of the Population, to find additional new support for the Tiebout-Tullock hypothesis. Apparently, there is strong evidence to indicate that, for the period 1975–1980, geographic differentials in state and local government tax and expenditure policies significantly influenced geographic mobility (migration). These findings should be of special importance and interest to policymakers in view of the fact that internal migration is the single most important determinant of population and labor force redistribution in the United States.
