Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of natural disasters on emergency and disaster relief service (EDRS) expenditure in the governmental funds for sixty-six counties in the state of Florida between 2009 and 2013. Specifically, it will explore whether the fiscal responses of local governments in these fiscal accounts are spatially dependent by using the spatial Durbin model. It finds that EDRS expenditures in the general fund and in the special revenue fund of one county are influenced by the levels of damage in neighboring counties. This study also finds a spillover effect of intergovernmental revenues from state and federal governments on these EDRS expenditures in fiscal accounts. These results suggest that the provision of public goods (such as disaster relief activities) may generate spatial spillover at the local level in the context of US federalism. Moreover, this study highlights the importance of accounting for spatial factors in the study with respect to local jurisdictions’ fiscal reactions to natural disasters.

相邻管辖权事项的影响:考察自然灾害对地方政府财政账户的影响
本研究的目的是考察2009年至2013年间,自然灾害对佛罗里达州66个县政府基金中应急和救灾服务(EDRS)支出的影响。具体而言,它将通过使用空间Durbin模型来探索地方政府在这些财政账户中的财政反应是否具有空间依赖性。研究发现,EDRS在一个县的普通基金和特别收入基金中的支出受邻近县的损失水平的影响。本研究还发现,来自州和联邦政府的政府间收入对财政账户中的EDRS支出产生了溢出效应。这些结果表明,在美国联邦制的背景下,公共产品的提供(如救灾活动)可能会在地方层面产生空间溢出。此外,本研究强调了在研究中考虑地方司法管辖区对自然灾害的财政反应的空间因素的重要性。

期刊介绍: Public Finance Review is a professional forum devoted to US policy-oriented economic research and theory, which focuses on a variety of allocation, distribution and stabilization functions within the public-sector economy. Economists, policy makers, political scientists, and researchers all rely on Public Finance Review, to bring them the most up-to-date information on the ever changing US public finance system, and to help them put policies and research into action. Public Finance Review not only presents rigorous empirical and theoretical papers on public economic policies, but also examines and critiques their impact and consequences. The journal analyzes the nature and function of evolving US governmental fiscal policies at the national, state and local levels.
