Interlocal service collaboration network and fiscal outcomes: Empirical evidence from Nebraska counties

Abstract

U.S. local governments frequently collaborate through interlocal agreements to coordinate resources in confronting challenges that transcend jurisdictional boundaries. This research leverages unique data on cooperating entities in interlocal agreements among Nebraska counties from 2012 to 2017 to explore how collaborative network structures predict government‐wide budgetary indicators. By documenting stylized facts of these agreements and using a two‐way fixed effects estimator, the findings reveal that network centrality and clustering coefficient are associated with lower per capita revenues and expenditures, but higher property taxes and tax rates.
