title: The effects of local authority fiscal decisions on population levels in urban areas.
abstract: This is a study on the effects of local authority fiscal decisions on population levels in urban areas of the United Kingdom.  The authors examine whether discriminatory local fiscal policies have an important effect on borough population levels by presenting a simple model of population determination and testing it with 1971 cross-sectional data for the 32 London boroughs.  "The results suggest that both expenditure and tax policies do have important effects on population levels, the composite effects depending on the extent to which expenditure is financed from domestic rates."
