Single vs double ballot and party coalitions: the impact on fiscal policy. Evidence from Italy Rizzo, Leonzio Zanardi, Alberto Eleccions locals Federalisme Impostos Local elections Federalism Taxation We use data for all Italian municipalities, from 2001-2006, to empirically test the extent to which two electoral rules, which hold, for small and large municipalities, affect fiscal policy decisions. Municipalities with fewer than 15,000 inhabitants elect their mayors in accordance with a single ballot plurality rule while the rest of the municipalities uses a run-off plurality rule. Per capita total taxes, charges and current expenditure in large municipalities are lower than in small ones if the mayor of the large municipality does not need a broad coalition to be elected. 2017-10-09T12:47:51Z 2017-10-09T12:47:51Z 2012 info:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaper Reproducció del document publicat a: http://www.ieb.ub.edu/2012022157/ieb/ultimes-publicacions IEB Working Paper 2012/33 [WP E-IEB12/33] cc-by-nc-nd, (c) Rizzo et al., 2012 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Institut d’Economia de Barcelona IEB (Institut d’Economia de Barcelona) – Working Papers
