Intergovernmental Grants As A Tactical Instrument: Some Empirical Evidence from Swedish Municipalities Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Johansson, E.
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
Are grants to Swedish municipalities tactical? In this essay, I derive testable implications from a theoretical voting model and test these on a panel of 255 Swedish municipalities, 1981 - 1995. In order to decide which regions that are politically powerful, both election results, and survey data from the Swedish election studies are used. The results, although somewhat ambiguous, support the hypothesis that intergovernmental grants are used in order to win votes.
