520			_aThe past several decades have brought significant changes to county governments in the United States as these jurisdictions assume an increasing share of urban services and opt for more modern forms of government. This article focuses on the policy consequences of the change from the traditional form of commission government to either the elected executive or appointed administrator form. Using an interrupted pooled time-series design with 10 reorganized counties and 10 matched jurisdictions, the analysis confirms the null hypothesis. Changes in form of government have virtually no effect on rates of change in county fiscal behavior. - Reproduced
