Bangers and cash: partisan bias in local government grant allocations across Great Britain
研究英国地方政府拨款中的党派偏见，发现中央政府会向同党控制的地方政府分配更多资金，尤其在英格兰明显，苏格兰则无此现象。
This article examines partisan bias in local government grants across Great Britain, testing whether grant-awarding governments allocate more resources to local authorities controlled by their own party. The results suggest substantial pork-barrelling in grant allocations: the UK government allocates more in grant funding to English local authorities after they become politically aligned. A weaker partisan bias is also found in Wales. In Scotland, there is no evidence of such bias, a result which may be explained by a lesser reliance on more easily targetable specific grants, different electoral systems or the intergovernmental frameworks characterising local government grants in Scotland.
