Abstract

Inflation affects both the expenditures and the revenues of local governments. Unfortunately, measurement of the overall effect of inflation on a government's budget is hampered by the absence of appropriate inflation indexes. This paper describes a methodology for computing such indexes and applies the technique in an examination of the effects of inflation on six local governments during the period 1971-1974.
