Impact of General Revenue Sharing

Résumé du livre

The primary focus of the study was on the impact of the revenue sharing program on expenditures and taxes. Respondents were asked how their budget situation would have been different if revenue sharing had not existed. Questions probed for judgments about specific programs that would have been eliminated if revenue sharing funds had not been available, and for assessments of which population groups would have been most affected if the programs supported by revenue sharing had not been undertaken. A number of questions dealing with innovation were included: respondents were asked to specify programs which they regarded as innovative, to indicate the cost of these programs and whether or not they would have been undertaken without revenue sharing. Sample size is 1835 respondents.
