The Assignment of Fiscal Responsibility in a Federal State: An Empirical Assessment

Christopher Ross Bell

National Tax Journal, 1988, vol. 41, issue 2, 191-207

Abstract: Uses the assignments of fiscal responsibility in the U.S. public primary and secondary school finance systems to test the key propositions of the optimal federal design literature. Finds that variations in the observed assignments of fiscal responsibility are consistent with those predicted by the conventional literature and the degree of interjurisdictional competition present in these systems influences educational expenditures.
