Demands for Local Public Sector Outputs in Rural and Urban Municipalities
利用超越对数模型，研究澳大利亚维多利亚州乡村与城市市政当局对地方公共服务的需求差异，并报告支出、价格和替代弹性。
Abstract Little is known about local public services demands in rural municipalities and how they differ from demands in urban municipalities. Local public sector output demands in rural and urban municipalities in Victoria, Australia, are studied here using a system of equations approach based on the translog model. Expenditure, price, and substitution elasticities are reported. Demands differ between rural and urban municipalities and even among the (especially urban) subclasses.
