Abstract

Abstract Application of regression and curve fitting techniques to empirical fiscal and development data in a Massachusetts community provides an alternative to the rational approach of conventional fiscal impact methodology. Empirical analysis offers several advantages, including the use of incremental rather than average cost data, direct computation of tax rate impacts, and orientation toward cumulative growth patterns. Forecasting explicitly takes into account uncertainties in the relationships between fiscal and development variables. The results are particularly appropriate for application in planning analysis and generation of growth management strategies.
