Abstract: Varying geographic patterns of state and federal fiscal activities result in tax flows among counties. These flows can be determined only through enormous effort in the compilation of large sets of government financial data. A procedure is proposed where discriminant analysis is used to estimate the direction of intercounty tax flows, reducing considerably the effort involved.
