- Authors
DAVIES, DAVID
- Abstract
The article focuses on the financing of various functions and services in metropolitan areas including transport systems and social overhead capital facilities in the U.S. It discusses various public economic functions of a democratic government, which have been categorized by professor Richard Musgrave into three parts including the stabilization of income function, that involve programs for resource utilization, the redistribution function, that involve the use of taxes and transfer payments, and the allocation of resources function. It examines the solution to urban financing problems, the suburban-core city exploitation hypothesis, the effect of a variation in tax patterns on the location of industry, and sources of revenue available to urban governments.
