Fourteen municipal governments located in the central and eastern regions of the country are explored, utilizing data from FY 2001 to 2006. The findings show that the selected measures of revenue-raising capacity and expenditure provide a sensible picture of Thai municipal fiscal conditions when compared to U.S. cities during past decades. Large, highly populous central cities as well as semi-rural, residential areas are fiscally weak. By contrast, suburban and industry-based cities are fiscally healthy. This study provides a foundation for the design of intergovernmental transfer systems that takes into account the local fiscal conditions and helps to extend the external validity of existing analytical tools. - Reproduced.
