Urban impacts of Federal policies. Volume 3. Fiscal conditions

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6410432
This report examines the relationships between Federal programs and policies and the fiscal conditions of local governments in urban areas. It covers both the Federal programs that affect local budgets directly, such as Federal grants-in-aid, and the policies that affect fiscal circumstances indirectly, such as Federal transfer payments to individuals and Federally created incentives to businesses to locate in more urbanized areas. It provides both a conceptual analysis of the effects of Federal policies on local fiscal circumstances and a review of the relevant theoretical and empirical literature. It attempts to summarize what is known about these Federal--local relationships as well as to identify major gaps in existing knowledge of the effects of Federal policy. (MCW)
