Spatial Analysis of Local Government Fiscal Condition in Nebraska
Spatial Analysis of Local Government Fiscal Condition in Nebraska

Summary/Abstract: Many state governments, local officials, academics and even policy advocacy organizations continue to seek models and approaches that will help them assess the probability of municipal financial distress and crisis as we face an uncertain future. Local communities meet challenges where important decisions will need to be made about how to efficiently and effectively allocate scarce public resources with limited capacity. This research aims at examining the spatial patterns of local governments’ fiscal condition. It provides the analysis of municipal fiscal condition based on spatial patterns, more specifically, the proximity of a municipality to the urban centers of Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska.
