An illustrious group of economists contribute to this volume
honoring Dick Netzer, the public finance economist well-known for
his research on state and local taxation, the provision of urban
public services, and non-profit organizations. Following in his
tradition, the contributors apply microeconomics to real world
problems facing urban areas and use statistical analysis to gain
insight into practical solutions. The first four chapters of the
book provide in-depth explorations of alternative methods of
financing urban government such as: the relative merits of income
and property taxation at the local level, the impact of sales and
income taxation on property taxation, and the feasibility of
adopting a land value tax. The next two chapters focus on
government expenditures: the impact of subsidized housing
investment on property values, and the theoretical and historical
explanations for public ownership and direct provision of public
services. The final two chapters of the book turn their attention
to the non-profit sector, exploring subsidies to non-profit arts
organizations and the role of the non-profit sector in providing
K-12 education, specifically addressing the implications for
segregation and equity. Comprehensive and engaging, professionals
and scholars in the fields of public finance, urban economics and
public administration will find this collection of great interest.
