Abstract
This paper examines the regional implications of decentralizing sup port for social services and income transfers from the federal govern ment to charitable organizations and state and local government. The evidence suggests that profound place-to-place disparities persist in support of programs that aid the poor even after allowance is made for local differences in affluence, distress, political ideology, and the crowd-out effects of federal assistance. The findings indicate that local generosity in the social and welfare realms remains unre lated to the locus of need.Keywords
