Were more regional center-cities better able to manage fiscal stress through the Great Recession? Evidence from Joseph D. Manzella, II April 17, 2013

Outline Introduction to Regionalism Rationale Review of Literature –Regionalism –Fiscal Stress Data and Model Development Identification and testing of Hypothesis Conclusions, comments and feedback.

Introduction to Regionalism Metropolitan Governance –Tiebout –Ostrom Metropolitan Government –Rusk –Unigov, City-County Consolidation, flexible borders, et cetera

Introduction to Regionalism Interlocal agreements Revenue Sharing –In Michigan, 425 Agreements Shared Services –Police and Fire –Water and Sewer –Rec Centers Reached through agreement of equal parties

Introduction to Regionalism New York (1895) Jacksonville City-County (1968) Indianapolis City-County (1972) Louisville City-County (2003)

Rationale for Study Trending topic in local government A new talking point in the regionalism discussion

Review of Literature Regionalism and Cities: –Ed Glaeser –Richard Florida –David Rusk –Robert Putnam –Jane Jacobs –Elinor Ostrom

Methodology Approach 1: Determine the effect of regionalism on measures of fiscal stress –Service cuts, –Debt, and –Deficits. Approach 2: Determine the effect of regionalism on composite scores of fiscal stress.

Hypotheses for Approach 1 H 1 : Higher levels of regionalism positively affect employment changes. H 2 : More regional cities had smaller debt per capita H 3 : More regional cities had smaller revenue deficits.

Hypothesis 1 H 1 : Higher levels of regionalism positively affect employment changes. %Change_FTE i( ) =  1 +  2 City_MSA_Ratio i(2011) +  3 %Change_in_Pop i(07-11) +  4 %Change_in_Rev (07-11)I +  5 City_Unem i(2011) +  6 Region_Unem i(2011) +  i

Hypothesis 2: Debt per Capita Debt grow for most cities through the crisis. Debt is not necessarily an indicator of stress, but too much debt is. Econometric model: Debt Per Capita ( ) =  1 +  2( ) City-MSA +  3( ) City-MSA 2 +  4( ) City_Unem +  i +  i

Hypothesis 3 H 3 : More regional cities had smaller revenue deficits. Every city had a revenue shortfall Shortfalls are mitigated by new taxes, asset sales, service cuts and new debt.
