Measuring Basic Wants for State and Local Public Goods: A Preference Independence Transformation Approach
使用鹿特丹需求框架估计五种州和地方政府服务的需求，通过偏好独立转换识别潜在选民需求，发现1952-83年间从物质资本需求向人力资本需求的转变。
A Rotterdam demand framework is used to estimate the demand for five state and local government (SLG) services. A prefere nce independence transformation of these results identifies the under lying voter wants which these services satisfy. The results reflect a shift from physical capital to capital wants over the 1952-83 period. A general SLG want accounts for 75 to 95 percent of SLG spend ing over this period. A minimum service level want, including mos t highway and infrastructure spending, declines in importance over ti me, while a human capital/infrastructure contrast want, composed of education and health spending, increases in importance.
