摘要

人口中心之间距离遥远，获得公共服务的机会有限，这是澳大利亚地方政府面临的一个持续存在的问题，那里存在着由“距离暴政”主导的人口稀少的大片地区。从公共政策的角度来看，重要的是要了解偏远对地方当局的影响。因此，在本文中，我们使用2014-2018年澳大利亚地方政府的样本来估计偏远程度与财务可持续性之间的关系。总的来说，我们只发现有限的经验证据表明地理位置偏远和财务可持续性之间的关系，正如我们所代理的那样。

An Evaluation of the Financial Sustainability of Remote Australian Local Councils*

Spatial remoteness in the sense of great distances between population centres and limited access to public services is an on-going problem in Australian local government, where there exist large, sparsely populated regions dominated by the 'tyranny of distance'. From a public policy perspective, it is important to understand the impact of remoteness on local authorities. Accordingly, in this paper, we estimate the relationship between remoteness and financial sustainability using a 2014–2018 sample of Australian local governments. In general, we find only limited empirical evidence for a relationship between geographical remoteness and financial sustainability as we have proxied it.

期刊介绍： Economic Papers is one of two journals published by the Economics Society of Australia. The journal features a balance of high quality research in applied economics and economic policy analysis which distinguishes it from other Australian journals. The intended audience is the broad range of economists working in business, government and academic communities within Australia and internationally who are interested in economic issues related to Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Contributions are sought from economists working in these areas and should be written to be accessible to a wide section of our readership. All contributions are refereed.
