Politics, Institutions and Comprehensive Planning in Florida Cities : A Spatial Lag Modeldownload
This research focused on the exercise of discretionary powers in relation to growth management based on a political market approach and identified cities’ spatial impact on growth management. Recent work has directed attention to how government institutions shape land use decisions. We build on this foundation by identifying variations in resource commitments to growth management in Florida cities based on financial data gathered from fiscal reports filed with the state comptroller. We apply a political market framework that focuses on the motivations of stakeholders who are demanders of more or less growth management activity, and government officials that are suppliers of planning and regulation. We address this framework through an empirical analysis of comprehensive planning expenditures of Florida cities that includes legislative as well as executive political institutions and controls for spatial autocorrelation with maximum likelihood estimation of a spatial lag model.
