      【题目2   】What Factors Drive Municipal Fiscal Policy Adoption? An Empirical Investigation of 100 Major American Cities 市级财政政策采纳的驱动力因素：一个来自美国100个城市的实证研究

      【内容简介】Local policy makers in the U.S. operate within a confined decision-making environment and their policy-making capacities are limited by intergovernmental constraints, local political culture, service demand, and economic and fiscal condition. This presentation will discuss the effects of these factors on certain types of local fiscal policy adoption in the U.S. Based on data from 100 major American cities, we find that a combination of state aid, state imposed local tax and expenditure limits, fiscal decentralization, and tax authority has varied effects on the adoption of fiscal policies such as property tax increases, other tax increases, fees and user charge increases, and personnel cuts.
