Abstract
What behavior can be expected from state and local governments, given market-analogy theories of intergovernmental competition (competition enhances efficiency) and game-theoretic models (competition is destruc tive)? How does the real world depart from these paradigms? What empir ical hypotheses do they imply concerning the effectiveness of alternat ive competitive public policies?
