Competition among States and Local Governments: Efficiency and Equity in American Federalism

Abstract

Is competition among state and local governments detrimental to public service and tax systems, or does it promote government efficiency and responsiveness? This volume takes a fresh look at the effects of competition and at how federal policies can moderate or exacerbate the negative consequences of such rivalry. It presents both the political science perspective of a model of federalism and the economic perspective of competition among firms in a market economy.
