| Abstract: | This paper helps to fill a gap in the public economics literature by providing empirical evidence on strategic interaction among local governments. The paper focuses on the adoption of growth-control measures by cities in California and looks for evidence of policy interdependence in these choices. The data are drawn from an elaborate survey of growth control practices in California cities, conducted by Glickfeld and Levine (1992). The survey results are used to compute an index of the stribgency of growth controls in each city. |
