Book Synopsis The Effects of Tax and Expenditure Limitations on the Fiscal Decisions of Municipal Governments by : Wilson K. Rose
Download or read book The Effects of Tax and Expenditure Limitations on the Fiscal Decisions of Municipal Governments written by Wilson K. Rose and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of four essays that introduce tax and expenditure limitations (TELs), examine their effectiveness, identify potential unintended impacts of the TELs, and discuss future beneficial research. TELs impose financial restrictions onto municipalities, however exceptions in these laws allow municipalities to exceed stated thresholds. This creates uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of these laws. This dissertation examines TEL efficacy, in addition to providing insights regarding unintended consequences of these laws. I utilize methodologies which account for the endogenous relationship between TEL enactment and fiscal policy. The first essay provides background regarding the types of tax and expenditure limitations, their intended effects, and how certain technical aspects of their enactment may allow for circumvention of the stated limits. In the second essay, I examine how municipal finances are affected by TELs. The main goals of TELs are to reduce the property tax burden of residents and reduce the size of government. I find evidence that property tax burden is reduced following implementation of TELs. However, I do not find strong evidence that expenditures are significantly reduced. Additionally, I do not find consistent evidence of reductions in expenditure growth. Essay three examines potential unintended consequences of TELs. I find there are potential consequences of these TELs beyond the two main goals of reduced property tax burden and government size reduction. One consequence is a reduced proportion of spending on productive services. In addition, I find evidence that municipalities may anticipate the enactment of the laws and react by increasing the proportion of service expenditures just before the law goes into effect. The negative implication of this anticipation is that accelerated expenditures, if sub optimally funded by debt, could be costly for the municipality in the long term. The final essay discusses future research that could provide insights regarding methods to help ensure that municipalities effectively implement financial policies under tax and expenditure limits. This essay posits that GAAP reporting standards and high quality audits may aid in limiting TEL limit circumvention. An exploratory examination of the association of GAAP standards and municipal financial decisions is performed.
Book Synopsis The Control of Municipal Budgets by : David Merriman
Download or read book The Control of Municipal Budgets written by David Merriman and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1987-11-13 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive analysis of the design and effects of tax and expenditure limitations (TELs), The Control of Municipal Budgetsshows how limitation measures have worked and offers practical guidelines for analyzing and designing such programs under current economic and political conditions. Looking first at the characteristics of different types of TELs, Merriman discusses the various ways in which limitations may be imposed. He next reviews the history and current status of TELs, beginning with control efforts imposed more than a century ago, and comments on the long-range consequences of such measures. He examines conventional government budgeting models (those not governed by TELs) and then develops a model for government behavior under a TEL that will enable decisionmakers and analysts to understand how the effects of a TEL are related to its design. In an analysis of New Jersey's Cap Law, the author applies the analytical model to a concrete instance and presents new evidence on specific effects of TEL programs.

Book Synopsis Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management by : Mr.Jack Diamond
Download or read book Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management written by Mr.Jack Diamond and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, economics training in public finances has focused more on tax than public expenditure issues, and within expenditure, more on policy considerations than the more mundane matters of public expenditure management. For many years, the IMF's Public Expenditure Management Division has answered specific questions raised by fiscal economists on such missions. Based on this experience, these guidelines arose from the need to provide a general overview of the principles and practices observed in three key aspects of public expenditure management: budget preparation, budget execution, and cash planning. For each aspect of public expenditure management, the guidelines identify separately the differing practices in four groups of countries - the francophone systems, the Commonwealth systems, Latin America, and those in the transition economies. Edited by Barry H. Potter and Jack Diamond, this publication is intended for a general fiscal, or a general budget, advisor interested in the macroeconomic dimension of public expenditure management.

Book Synopsis Power, Risk, and Democratic Control in State-local Finance by : Noah Jefferson McDaniel
Download or read book Power, Risk, and Democratic Control in State-local Finance written by Noah Jefferson McDaniel and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis I explore the empirical effects of TELs, particularly limitations on property taxes, on fiscal risk metrics. The study is motivated by the increased financialization of the public sector, and concordant growth in risk in municipal government. How has the state-local relationship contributed to local risk? Using a panel regression with fixed effects on data from all 50 states 1967-2004, I find that TELs have significant effects on municipal risk. Property tax rate limits in particular increase risk, suggesting that some TELs may not constrain the size of local governments, but induce substitution towards higher-risk fiscal practices.

Book Synopsis Brazil: Tax Expenditure Rationalization Within Broader Tax Reform by : Maria Delgado Coelho
Download or read book Brazil: Tax Expenditure Rationalization Within Broader Tax Reform written by Maria Delgado Coelho and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The excessive complexity and burden of the Brazilian tax system, riddled by cumulative indirect taxes and heavy payroll contributions, have led to an accumulation of fiscal incentives aimed at reducing its burden on taxpayers and productive activities. Federal and subnational tax expenditures currently stand at over 5 percent of GDP. Rationalizing them can only be comprehensively feasible in the context of a broader sequenced tax reform, and could reduce resource misallocation and income inequality, as well as provide new revenues.

Book excerpt: Government is broke. The 2004 federal deficit is the highest in U.S. history. The states have suffered three years of record shortfalls. Cities, counties, and school districts are laying off policemen and teachers, closing schools, and cutting services. But the fiscal pain won't go away, and the bankrupt ideologies of left and right offer little guidance.The Price of Government presents a radically different approach to budgeting -- one that focuses on buying results for citizens rather than cutting or adding to last year's spending programs. It advocates consolidation, competition, customer choice, and a relentless focus on results to save millions while improving public services.
