Description
ABSTRACT There are relatively few empirical studies examining the determinants of local government structure and how voters sort themselves into various local governments. These studies have concluded that greater fiscal decentralization occurs when demands for government services of residents within a metropolitan area are more heterogeneous. These findings support the fiscal decentralization hypothesis. However, in a more recent panel study utilizing fixed effects model, I find no evidence of Tiebout-sorting process. There is some evidence of greater decentralization of local government structure, similar to the past studies, if the fixed-effects are not controlled. I find that the state rules have significant impact on the formation of new jurisdictions.
