Zusammenfassung

The main funding source of cultural, sports and recreational activities comes from local governments. The supply of these services creates spillovers between neighboring municipalities. Literature has shown many examples of spatial dependence in spending levels in these budgetary items at small local governments. Although there is general agreement on the presence of spatial dependence in models that explain spending on these items, the sign of the spatial dependence is ambiguous. Some authors show evidence of negative correlation and justify it because the services provided by a municipality are used by their neighbors due to mobility among inhabitants of nearby localities. Other authors find proofs of positive spatial dependence and justify it due to a strong similarity in the behavior of the inhabitants from neighboring municipalities who demand similar expenses for such services. In this paper, using database of the settlement of the Spanish municipalities’ budgets, spending is analyzed in cultural, sports and environmental activities of all municipalities in Spain for the period 2010-2012 by SUR (Seemingly Unrelated Regression) methodology. Our results show that both hypotheses are compatible and that the two effects, positive and negative, can occur simultaneously.
