Abstract
Path analysis is employed to identify major influences on two forms of state aid to citiesfinancial and programmatic. Considerable support is found for a sequential model in which state resources and city need are modified by the political climate and the legal/structural characteristics of the state. For financial aid, the most powerful influences are a professionalized legislature and a legal system under which cities are responsible for schools and welfare. Program support is more affected by state resources and municipal need. In all, those states most likely to provide generous support have cities in need, ample resources, professionalized legislatures, and a decentralized state-local structural relationship.
