Cover of Mark Schneider: The Competitive City (PDF)

This timely and important book, which won a special citation from the American Political Science Association's Urban Affairs Section for its "major theoretical development, " analyzes the effect of competition among suburban communities to attract residents and business with the best public services and the lowest taxes. Using data from a large sample of suburban cities, Mark Schneider offers a theoretical extension of the Tiebout-Peterson approach to understanding public policies and integrates this perspective with recent work on the power of bureaucrats to control budgets.
