Chapman's Fiscal Impact Model: Extensions and Caveats
本文基于查普曼的地方政府财政影响模型，探讨了最优服务与最优发展水平的关系，并指出该模型隐含的边际决策应包含财政、环境和社会经济稳定，而非仅财政分析。
Chapman's fiscal impact model of local government1 shows conceptually how to relate optimum service level provision to optimum development level by drawing on Buchanan's economic theory of clubs.2 Chapman's purposes were to provide a conceptual justification for why city planners and finance officers must talk to one another and to argue theoretically for the intervention of local government into the land use market under certain conditions.3 His basic conclusion is that communities should apply marginal decision making based on fiscal impact analysis. By marginal decision making, Chapman implicitly means fiscal, environmental, and socioeconomic stabilization around the existing community status quo. This article is motivated by two observations about Chapman's fiscal impact model.
