“…Using the same data that we used to estimate the impact of an REO on county expenditures, we regressed the per capita property tax base on the REO stock and a set of control variables, again allowing for year and county fixed effects and the endogeneity of the stock. We found that a single foreclosure reduces a county's property tax base by at least $800,000 (Ihlanfeldt and Mayock 2014).…”

“…They estimate that the municipal costs of this scenario range from $5,358 to $7,020. We have conducted an econometric analysis of the impact REOs have on city and county budgets (Ihlanfeldt and Mayock 2014). Using panel data on Florida cities and counties covering the years 1997 to 2011, we estimated expenditure per capita and budget share models.…”

The estimation of foreclosure spillover effects has been the subject of a number of studies following the most recent housing market crash. An important issue largely overlooked by these studies is the extent to which these spillovers vary across neighborhoods. In this article, we use data from the South Florida metropolitan area to study the variance in these foreclosure spillovers across neighborhoods with different income levels and racial concentrations. We find that the largest foreclosure spillovers occur in higher-income neighborhoods. In low-income, minority neighborhoods, we find no evidence of spillover effects. The results have important implications for local governments.

“…Local government service results mainly signified by municipal services are often constrained by the lack of knowledge about the local processes and procedures among the public [10,64]. Municipal awareness and enlightenment plays a significant role in citizen attitude toward the local service delivery, performance measurement of local governments activities can be ascertained based on the citizen awareness [9,46]. In this regards, how the local community respond to the local authorities' demand showcase the level of local government development attainment [18,38,47].…”

“…Qualifications to function as a fire department officer require operational leadership strategies (Mumford et al , 2015). Financial and operational issues affect fire department operations and can lead to layoffs and organization closure (Ihlanfeldt and Mayock, 2014). Command staff training requirements do not exist (Dillard and Layzell, 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore leadership strategies of fire officers used by fire office leaders to manage costs associated with hazardous operations. Design/methodology/approach The methodology employed in this study was a qualitative method using a case study design. The participants in this research study comprised 13 randomly selected fire officers from fire stations within a major metropolitan area located in the USA who had five or more years hazardous operations experience. In addition to interviews, workplace practices, policies and procedures related to hazardous operations and cost management were analyzed. Limitations of this study include both the sample size, and the geographic area, which impacts the ability to generalize the results of the study. Findings Four central themes emerged from the study, namely, servant leadership, partnership, accountability and creative staffing, which are crucial strategies to manage costs associated with hazardous operations. The findings of this study further indicate fire officers must distinguish between the most appropriate action for any given situation to achieve the fire department goals and objectives. Practical implications Managing cost effective hazardous operations through sound leadership strategies reduced injuries and saved lives, which results in cost savings in fire departmental budgets, labor costs and health care costs, which can further support the redirection of funds to critical areas of fire operations. Originality/value The value of identifying leadership strategies related to hazardous operations cost management may reduce injuries, save lives and ensure adequate budget allocations for fire departments. Social implications include innovative leadership strategies, which may enable fire officers to promote positive social change through saving lives of fire fighters and the citizens they serve.
