Red ink in the rearview mirror: local fiscal conditions and the issuance of traffic tickets

We find that significantly more tickets are issued in the year following a decline in revenue, but the issuance of traffic tickets does not decline in years following revenue increases. Our results suggest that tickets are used as a revenue generation tool ...

Working Paper
Does Zoning Help or Hinder Transit-Oriented (Re)Development?
Schuetz, Jenny; Giuliano, Genevieve; Shin, Eun Jin (2016-03-04)
Despite its reputation as a car-oriented city, the Los Angeles metropolitan area has made substantial investments in developing rail transit since 1990. In cities with older "legacy" rail systems, the built environment has developed over time around fixed transit infrastructure, creating land use patterns oriented towards long-standing rail stations.

Kodrzycki, Yolanda; Cools, Angela (2013)

Journal Article
Government budgets and property values
Taylor, Lori L. (1991-09)
Lori L. Taylor debunks several popular beliefs as she examines how property values relate to taxes, government services, and government debt. She finds that, contrary to popular belief, property values do not necessarily decrease when local governments increase taxes to pay for services. Her analysis reveals that taxpayers value all types of government services, including transfer payments such as welfare and health services. Taylor's work also suggests that people do not automatically prefer deficit spending to tax increases.
