最近在”应用经济理论”领域最重要的发展之一是马斯格雷夫和萨缪尔森在公共财政理论方面的工作。[2]这两位作者都同意，可能是正在调查的主要问题，即不存在”市场型”解决办法来确定公共产品的支出水平。与私营部门相比，我们似乎面临着国民收入相当大一部分以”非最佳”方式分配的问题。这一讨论将表明，马斯格雷夫-萨缪尔森的分析，这是有效的联邦支出，不需要适用于地方支出。讨论的计划是首先重申马斯格雷夫和萨缪尔森的假设以及他们处理的中心问题。在研究了联邦与地方案例之间的关键区别之后，我将提出一个简单的模型。这一模式为地方公益物支出水平提供了一个解决方案，它比在国家一级更能充分反映民众的偏好。然后，将放宽模型的假设，看看涉及哪些含义。最后，将讨论政策考虑。
NE of the most important recent developments in the area of" applied economic theory" has been the work of Musgrave and Samuelson in public finance theory. 2 The two writers agree on what is probably the major point under investigation, namely, that no" market type" solution exists to determine the level of expenditures on public goods. Seemingly, we are faced with the problem of having a rather large portion of our national income allocated in a" non-optimal" way when compared with the private sector. This discussion will show that the Musgrave-Samuelson analysis, which is valid for federal expenditures, need not apply to local expenditures. The plan of the discussion is first to restate the assumptions made by Musgrave and Samuelson and the central problems with which they deal. After looking at a key difference between the federal versus local cases, I shall present a simple model. This model yields a solution for the level of expenditures for local public goods which reflects the preferences of the population more adequately than they can be reflected at the national level. The assumptions of the model will then be relaxed to see what implications are involved. Finally, policy considerations will be discussed.
