Abstract

The bibliography contains a listing and annotations for 133 papers, reports, and books which test for size or scale economies in producing local government goods and services. Size economies refer to the set of phenomena that cause average costs of providing a good or service to decline with increasing size of the government unit. This deals solely with the supply side costs of providing services and therefore excludes research on such topics as expenditure determinants of local governments and optimal city size. Research applying to size economies results is generally omitted. An appendix lists some research on these omitted topics.
