We consider issues of equality and efficiency in two different school funding systems—a state-level system in Michigan and a foundation system in Ohio. Unlike Ohio, the Michigan system restricts districts from generating property or income tax revenue to fund operating expenditures. In both states, districts fund capital expenditures with local tax revenue. Our results indicate that although average revenue and expenditures per pupil in Michigan and Ohio are almost identical, the distributions of the various revenue sources are quite different. Ohio’s funding system has greater equality in terms of total revenue, largely due to Ohio redistributing state funds to the least wealthy districts while Michigan does not. We find relatively wealthy Michigan districts spend more on capital expenditures, whereas relatively wealthy Ohio districts spend more on labor and materials. This suggests that constraints on raising local revenue to fund operating expenditures in Michigan could create efficiency issues.

Does the reliance on diversified tax structure enhance resilience to fiscal risks? This paper gives an answer to this question by proposing a new cross-country tax revenue diversification index (RDI). The RDI builds on the Theil index, and unlike the few existing tax diversification indices, which are constructed only at the state level for the US, is computed at the national level, covering a broad panel of 127 countries over the period 2000-15. We find suggestive evidence that tax revenue diversification reduces tax revenue volatility, thus bringing to the data long-held views about the prominence of tax revenue diversification for fiscal resilience strengthening. While exploring the drivers of the RDI, we find that tax revenue diversification is not just a reflection of economic diversification, but also an outcome of macroeconomic, political and institutional factors. Interestingly, a non-monotone relationship is also at play between the RDI and economic development, with countries’ portfolio of tax sources getting more diversified as their economy develops, until a tipping point, where richer countries start finding it harder to diversify further their tax revenue sources.

Local governments always need local revenue sources that can support regional expenditure financing from various alternative revenue sources that may be collected by the region. Tax as the biggest source of state revenue has a tendency to increase from year to year. One of them is the motor vehicle tax, especially the heavy vehicle motor vehicle tax. The purpose of this study is to analyze the magnitude of the comparison of the number of heavy equipment from year to year with existing tax revenue, analyze its contribution in increasing local revenue and the obstacles faced in heavy equipment tax collection in North Sulawesi using descriptive qualitative research methods. Research results show that the number of heavy equipment that exists with the amount that pays heavy equipment tax has an unbalanced comparison from year to year.

Tax is potential revenue that is used by the government as a source of funding to run the government. One of the conditions needed to implement decentralization is the availability of sources of local revenue. Some local revenue sources are hotel and restaurant taxes. Issues raised in this research are that the number of hotel and restaurant visitors changes every year, resulting in fluctuations in the amount of tax. On the other hand, the Government of South Lampung had difficulty in predicting the target of hotel and restaurant tax revenue when arranging a revenue budget. This is due to the absence of formula to calculate the potential tax revenue accurately, resulting in a lack of strategic management for local revenue improvement. Now, Business Intelligence is becoming a trend. Many sectors use Business Intelligence to analyze and prepare new strategies and improve performance. Thus, it is necessary to use Business Intelligence to predict the potential of hotel and restaurant tax revenue so that the Government of South Lampung can develop appropriate strategies to improve local tax revenue and minimize tax reduction. The method used is a predictive analysis using the Support Vector Machine (SVM).  The result of this study is expected to be taken into consideration for South Lampung Local Government Revenue Service, in particular for the determination of the target of the hotel and restaurant tax sector in the coming year.

This article provides an analysis of Tennessee’s newly signed Education Savings Account policy, a school choice initiative. The policy provides vouchers, in the form of a debit card, to students in grades K-12 who are at or below 200% of the federal poverty line and are zoned to attend a Nashville, Shelby County, or Achievement School District school. Using the Policy Window Framework the author uncovers that the policy was created in a federal and state-level political convergence, which attempted to place equity at the forefront of the issue. However, using Levin's Comprehensive Education Privatization Framework, we can see that neoliberal ideals of choice and efficiency conquer equity in the finalized policy. The author predicts the outcomes of this new policy using this framework in tandem with 3 case studies: Louisiana Scholarship Program, DC Opportunity Scholarship Program, and Tennessee’s Individualized Education Accounts.

The contribution of local revenue (PAD) to regional income during the 2012-2016 period on average was 37.99% per annum and for 2012 the contribution of local revenue to regional income was 37.02%. This is due to the fact that the receipt of original regional income from third party contributions is very large. On average during the period of 2012-2016 the ability of local tax is relatively low if linked to the Gross Regional Domestic Product. While the power of regional retribution if associated with Gross Regional Domestic Product is also still relatively low, but has increased from year to year. This shows that management management in receiving regional retribution has increased. On average during the 2012-2016 period the realization of local tax revenues reached 103.63% per year (very effective) from the target of local tax revenue. In addition, the realization of regional retribution revenue reaches 103.20% per year (very effective) from the target of receiving regional retribution. Whereas the realization of BUMD profit income only reached 131.01% per year (very effective) from the target of BUMD profit income and the realization of other revenue from legitimate PAD only reached 109.36% per annum (very effective). On average, the economic growth rate of Jambi Province is 5.18% per year, it is expected that the increase in local tax revenue elasticity will increase by 8.90% per year. elasticity of the increase in regional retribution receipts is 12.91% per year. The dependency ratio of Jambi Province in the period of 2012-2016 was an average of 31.69 percent per year. Jambi province's regional autonomy ratio in the 2012-2016 period is an average of 12 percent per year with instructive conditions means it is very dependent on the central government
