The Fiscal Behavior of State and Local Governments

Selected Papers of Harvey S. Rosen

Studies in Fiscal Federalism and State-local Finance series

Harvey S. Rosen, John L. Weinberg Professor of Economics and Business Policy, Princeton University, US

The Fiscal Behavior of State and Local Governments presents, in one authoritative volume, Harvey Rosen's considerable contribution to the field of sub-federal public finance in the United States. He investigates how state and locality spending and taxing decisions are influenced by the economic environment in which they operate.

‘. . . this book is work of real substance and quality, and well worth reading, at least selectively, not just by economists but also by civil servants and the wider academic community interested in local government.’
– John Gibson, Local Government Studies

‘. . . the papers offer stimulating thoughts and insights into the work of a distinguished academic writer who has made substantial contributions to the literature on state–local fiscal behaviour.’
