ABSTRACT

Even though there have been previous studies to explore the relationship between county government form and expenditure, little attention has been paid to the selection problem that might arise when counties choose their government structures to meet their needs. This paper intends to fill this gap in the literature by estimating the effect of county government reform on expenditure with the selection problem corrected. In contrast to the results in previous studies, the reform of county government structure is found to have decreased the size of expenditure in the reformed counties.
