{"product_id":"the-control-of-municipal-budgets-david-merriman-9780899302171","title":"The Control of Municipal Budgets: Toward the Effective Design of Tax and Expenditure","description":"The first comprehensive analysis of the design and effects of tax and expenditure limitations (TELs), \u003ci\u003eThe Control of Municipal Budgets\u003c\/i\u003eshows how limitation measures have worked and offers practical guidelines for analyzing and designing such programs under current economic and political conditions. Looking first at the characteristics of different types of TELs, Merriman discusses the various ways in which limitations may be imposed. He next reviews the history and current status of TELs, beginning with control efforts imposed more than a century ago, and comments on the long-range consequences of such measures. He examines conventional government budgeting models (those not governed by TELs) and then develops a model for government behavior under a TEL that will enable decisionmakers and analysts to understand how the effects of a TEL are related to its design. In an analysis of New Jersey's Cap Law, the author applies the analytical model to a concrete instance and presents new evidence on specific effects of TEL programs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Merriman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0899302173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780899302171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"David Merriman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001252823295,"sku":"9780899302171","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a735bcab-79e8-4e24-ab65-c932b4cc6bbb.jpg?v=1751600516","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-control-of-municipal-budgets-david-merriman-9780899302171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
