Spatial Distribution of Federal Assistance in the United States, 1983-2001

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examines patterns in the spatial (geographical) distribution of federal spending as well as funding disparities across divisions and regions in the United States during the period 1983-2001. The study finds that there has been a relative drop in the share of the defense expenditures, with a growing proportion of federal outlays being channeled to the nondefense sector. This has resulted in the fluctuations of division/regional rankings (expressed as per capita outlays as a percentage of national per capita outlays) in both nondefense and defense expenditures. This trend contributed to the narrowing of funding disparities among divisions/ regions, which resulted in an emerging “dynamic spatial equity” of federal outlays during the period studied.
