Abstract

The spatial allocation of federal expenditures and tax burdens has changed dramatically during the 1980s because of major changes in federal budget priorities and significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. This study examines changes in the regional net flow of federal funds (the difference between federal expenditures within a region and federal tax burdens borne by the residents of that region) for the periods 1981-83 and 1987-89. The major findings of this study are that federal fiscal activities moderately redistribute resources from higher to lower income regions, and that, with some exceptions, changes in the net flow of federal funds by region have been due to changes in the geographic distribution of federal tax burdens.
