A predictive index for the flypaper effect

Article Abstract:

Variations of voter preferences and awareness are important factors that can adequately explain the flypaper effect. The flypaper effect is the tendency of lump-sum public grants to expand the expenditure of the local government more than a corresponding raise in private income. An index has been developed to appraise the unparallel tendency of heterogeneous communities to source from an intergovernmental grant. It is assumed by this predictive index that federal spending on administrative overhead measures the level of control voters have over fiscal policies.
