Can Nonprofit Enterprises Lead to Better Revenue Conditions in Local Government?

Abstract: Nonprofit enterprises may play an important role in revenue diversification from a government perspective, especially when local governments suffer from revenue shortages. This study attempts to examine whether an increasing number of nonprofit enterprises influence revenue diversification, as measured by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), as well as volatility using a panel data set from 2007 to 2012. The results indicate that local governments can secure more diversified and increased income sources as mo… Show more

“…Through offering job opportunities to the disadvantaged, reinvigorating local communities, and sharing power with employees, social enterprise can contribute to not only promoting equitable outcomes for society but also extending practical democratic rights into the economic realm, which improves public confidence and engagement in democracy (Rothschild, 2009). Social enterprise is also considered to represent not only the advanced complementary relationship between governments and civil society (S. Park & Kim, 2016) but also the emergence of a public value governance that involves effective cross-sector, cross-level, and multistakeholder governance in a shared-power world (Bryson et al, 2015; C.…”

The degree of diversification (Dhy) is measured by referring to Park and Kim (2016), and the Herfindel Index (HHI) for each firm's business is chosen (Table 5). Specifically, this is the dispersion of firm size in the market, with a larger value indicating less diversification.…”

“…Given the profit-seeking nature of enterprises, an increase in RED input usually leads to an increase in RED expected output, which generally includes enterprise interest, industry output value, and employees' salary. Under the condition of increasing output, the financial revenue of the local government can be reinforced, and the methods of increasing financial revenue generally rise with much higher land transfer fees, corporate taxes, and personal taxes (Park and Kim, 2016). The increase in government revenue further leads to more financial support for environmental improvement (Ge et al, 2021).…”
