Fiscal needs and standard costs: an empirical analysis for Italian municipalities of Puglia

Massimiliano Ferraresi () and Leonzio Rizzo ()

Politica economica, 2012, issue 3, 343-369

Abstract: The law 42/2009 proposes a new financial system of municipal expenditures using fiscal needs estimates. Our work estimates the six main expenditure functions, as defined by law, by identifying need and cost determinants. After estimating standard expenditures we propose two different methods of resource allocation: one on estimated standard needs for a given average cost; and the other on standard estimated cost for a given average need. We use municipal data of Puglia.

Keywords: Law 42/2009; financial needs; fiscal capacity; standard cost; expenditure standard; municipality. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
