“…Consistent with prior studies, federal and state involvement promotes redistributive policy outcomes (Bahl, MartinezVazquez, and Wallace 2000;Kearney and Kim 1990;Park 1996). However, the current findings reveal that these outcomes are more directly affected by state financial support.…”

“…Among other variables, federal funding for social assistance was shown to positively affect state and local expenditure shares for social services. Supporting empirical evidence also indicates that shifts in federal funding can not only affect the implementation of state and local redistributive policies but also create externalities for existing policies (Kearney and Kim 1990;Benton 1992).…”

“…From one standpoint, scholars have focused on the influences of federal and state funding levels on public policy choices (Bahl, Martinez-Vazquez, and Wallace 2000;Besley and Coate 2003;Kearney and Kim 1990). From another perspective, efforts to explain the existence of redistributive policies have focused on the politics of choice, asserting that the political influences and benefits of the average taxpayer are what dictate the outcomes of redistribution (Bobo 1991;Fry and Winters 1970;Moane and Wallerstein 2001).…”

This article seeks to examine factors that influence county government preferences for redistributive policies. An analysis of county services in 2007 reveals that political economic and political institutional influences stimulate redistributive service choices. Not only do these influences promote the provision of redistribution, but they also carry important implications for choices to internalize versus outsource production efforts. State-level influences and the reformed government structure consistently stimulate both the provision and internal production of redistributive services. Moreover, the findings suggest that the politics of redistribution as commonly understood for cities has different implications when applied to the environments of counties.

“…Peterson's related federalism argument has been supported in empirical studies by Vogel (1979), Kearney and Kim (1990), and Schneider and Ji (1990). Schneider (1989) also presents data confirming a range of hypotheses deduced from Peterson's work.…”

“…However, if time series are long enough and if the required assumptions hold, then interrupted time series designs are among the strongest quasi-experimental designs. Nonetheless, time series designs in educational evaluations are rare and typically not long (Henry & Rubenstein, 2002;Kearney & Kim, 1990;Lin & Lawrenz, 1999;May & Supovitz, 2006;Moon, Stanley, & Shin, 2005).…”
