I Wish Tiebout Could See This

Mike Munger
by Michael Munger
Guest Blogger
"Tiebout sorting", named after Charles Tiebout (1924-1968) is one of the ways that public economists have described the effects of differences in levels of public expenditure and variations in policy in a federal system. The essence of the model is the claim that people will move to find their optimal mix of goods and amenities.

But who would have expected this?

South Carolina is becoming a magnet for conservative Christian religious groups.

New Hampshire may be the Tiebout equilibrium destination for Libertarians.

Does this mean I have to move to Munger Place?

Yeah, it didn't go that well last time. But Fort Sumter is not far out in the harbor. And with modern artillery, they could really blow the hell out of Fort Sumter this time.
