Municipal Capital Spending during the "Boom"
In: Public budgeting & finance, Band 22, Heft 2, S. 1-20
ISSN: 1540-5850
This article analyzes municipal governments, capital spending, and revenue‐raising decisions between 1993 and 2000, an era of unprecedented economic growth. It finds that, as anticipated, greater‐than‐expected revenues allowed many cities to advance projects from their capital improvement plans to their capital budgets. Moreover, the article concludes that growth in cities' own‐source‐revenue‐generating capacity and transfers from carryover or ending balances from earlier years, rather than debt issuances and intergovernmental aid, seem to be the most important fuel for the remarkable growth rate in capital spending.

Local Infrastructure: Intergovernmental Grants and Urban Needs
In: Public works management & policy: a journal for the American Public Works Association, Band 1, Heft 1, S. 19-30
ISSN: 1552-7549
In the 20 years since "obsolete" infrastructure was discovered as a public policy problem by the academic and policy communities (see Peterson, 1978), federal and state infrastructure programs have been proposed, debated, and, in many cases, implemented—but frequently they have not. Yet, as much as policy makers would like to learn from these programs or be informed by theories about grant designs, the literature and evaluations on these infrastructure programs do not speak with one voice; conflicting conclusions and policy recommendations abound. The purpose of this article is to sketch out some elements of an infrastructure grants research agenda that are in need of clarification, specification, and rethinking. In particular, this article examines reasons for infrastructure's relative invisibility in municipal budgeting, the design and intended effects of infrastructure grants policy by federal and state governments, and future issues surrounding infrastructure.
