정부 간 재정지원 제도의 변화가 지방정부의 효율성과 형평성에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구

초록

This study attempts to analyze the impact of changes in the intergovernmental transfer system on local government equity and efficiency. Even though efficiency and equity have been regarded as trade-offs in the fields of public policy, public administration, and economics, the search for a possible positive relationship has continued. Taking advantage of the quasi-experimental research opportunity of New Jersey's educational finance reform, the impact of the institutional changes on equity and efficiency are analyzed. The results reveal that the institutional changes have detrimental impacts on both the equity and efficiency of school districts. It implies that the institutional changes are more likely to affect the public choice and managerial incentives of school districts and thereby induced changes in property tax rates, education budget reallocation, and financial management.
