The Role of Economic Analysis in Local Government Decision Making—A Public Choice Perspective
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 May 2017
Abstract
Conventional economic theory suggests that economists’ contribution to local government is primarily with respect to the production function type of knowledge. A characterization of local government decision making exposes some limitations on applicability of economic analysis of that kind. Public choice perspectives to local government help to redefine and elaborate the role of economic analysis in instructing local government decision making.
