以前的经验研究兼并对市政支出和市政效率的影响产生了混合的结果。这里有人认为，随着市政当局通过兼并而发展壮大，可能会有行政和服务提供效率，至少在一段时间内，超过抵消在提供基础设施和服务方面的高度垄断权力的低效率。如果是这样的话，那么人均税收和人均支出的增长率都会随着兼并而下降。然而，随着城市地理面积和人口基数的增加，行政和服务效率低下的情况最终可能会发展，垄断效率低下的情况可能会恶化。如果是这样的话，那么人均税收和人均支出的增长率都会随着兼并而增加。因此，可能存在某种程度的兼并活动，在这种兼并活动中，人均税收的增长和人均支出的增长将被最小化。从20世纪70年代的市政兼并，税收和支出的结果进行了分析，反映了这些变量之间的相互作用，在动态的市政设置的实证框架。结果是一致的存在一个最佳水平的兼并。
Previous empirical studies of the effects of annexation on municipal expenditures and municipal efficiency have yielded mixed results. Here it is argued that as municipalities grow through annexation, there may be administrative and service delivery efficiencies that, at least for a time, more than offset the inefficiencies of a heightened degree of monopoly power in the provision of infrastructure and services. If this is the case, then the rates of growth of both per capita taxes and per capita spending will decrease with annexation. Eventually, though, administrative and service inefficiencies are likely to develop as the city's geographic area and population base increase, and monopoly inefficiencies are likely to worsen. If this is the case, then the rates of growth of both per capita taxes and per capita spending will increase with annexation. Thus, there may be some level of annexation activity at which the growth of per capita taxes and the growth of per capita spending will be minimized. Municipal annexation, taxation, and expenditure outcomes from the 1970s are analysed in an empirical framework that reflects the interactions among these variables in dynamic municipal settings. The results are consistent with the existence of an optimal level of annexation.
