Theories of those economics as well as empirical analyses have been developed dramatically in various directions in recent years. One direction has been to reflect real economic circumstances, especially in Japan. In the early 2000s, Japan experienced the so-called great merger (or consolidation) of municipalities in the Heisei era (1999 through the present), with the number of municipalities shrinking from 3,232 to 1,821 for increasing administrative and financial efficiency. This phenomenon is mainly due to a drastic change in demography in Japan: the dimishing birthrate and aging population. Following the consolidation, regional coordination has been undertaken to raise overall administrative and financial efficiency. In sum, various types of public policies for tackling the decreasing birthrate and aging population have been carried out. Urban sprawl and the timing of municipal mergers are dealt with from a broad point of view, and public child care services and tax competition are investigated from a policy standpoint. Another direction has been to incorporate new ideas for forming theoretical frameworks for local public finance, most of which have been based on static situations. In the recent trend toward globalization, local governments have attended not only to the welfare of residents but also to the interests of regional economic development. In addition, decision making by local governments has tended to be affected by political activities. Thus, the endogenous growth setting and lobbying activities for the activities of local governments are discussed in the book. With these new directions for analyses, the author tackles the topics of tax competition, cross-border shopping, local provision of public goods, and soft budgets, thus covering a broad range of aspects of local public finance. . 410 0$aNew Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives,$x2199-5974 ;$v37 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEconomics 606 $aIndustries 606 $aMarketing 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aRegional/Spatial Science$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W49000 606 $aEconomic Policy$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W34010 606 $aPolitical Economy/Economic Systems$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W46000 606 $aIndustries$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/527000 606 $aMarketing$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/513000 606 $aRegional Development$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/913050 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aIndustries. 615 0$aMarketing. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 14$aRegional/Spatial Science. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aPolitical Economy/Economic Systems. 615 24$aIndustries. 615 24$aMarketing. 615 24$aRegional Development. 676 $a338.9 702 $aKunizaki$b Minoru$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNakamura$b Kazuyuki$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSugahara$b Kota$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aYanagihara$b Mitsuyoshi$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910350336903321 996 $aAdvances in Local Public Economics$92185845 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01847nam 2200577 a 450 001 9910452921503321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-61470-779-0 035 $a(CKB)2550000001042570 035 $a(EBL)3020384 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000875556 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11455483 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000875556 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10895464 035 $a(PQKB)11390802 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3020384 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3020384 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10676674 035 $a(OCoLC)923663665 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001042570 100 $a20110721d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMunicipal solid waste$b[electronic resource] $erecycling and cost effectiveness /$fMohamed Alwaeli 210 $aNew York $cNova Science Publishers$dc2011 215 $a1 online resource (130 p.) 225 1 $aWaste and waste management 225 1 $aNovinka 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-61324-853-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aIntroduction -- Waste generation -- Waste composition -- Waste regulations -- Recycling -- Cost-effectiveness of msw recycling. 410 0$aWaste and waste management series. 410 0$aNovinka (Series) 606 $aRecycling (Waste, etc.) 606 $aRefuse and refuse disposal 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRecycling (Waste, etc.) 615 0$aRefuse and refuse disposal. 676 $a628.4/458 700 $aAlwaeli$b Mohamed$0856805 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452921503321 996 $aMunicipal solid waste$91913580 997 $aUNINA
