The Tiebout hypothesis of voting with one's feet:  a look at the most recent evidence.
Data for the United States for the period 1970-1977 are used to examine the Tiebout hypothesis of "voting with one's feet", which involves geographic movement to express one's preferenes for public goods.  The findings "indicate that white consumer-voters over the period 1970-1977 did in fact vote with their feet with respect to welfare, public education, and property taxation; futhermore, the results presented...are entirely compatible with those of earlier periods (the 1950's and 1960's)."
