Abstract
Cost-revenue studies have suffered from important methodological and conceptual shortcomings, and frequently they have been applied to serve narrow and specialized interests. If the American public standard of living is to accord more nearly with private standards, the inequality of present tax flows must be adjusted and a rationale must be found for enlarged state and national programs for municipal capital improvements. Enlightened cost-revenue studies can help to demonstrate these needs and to hasten recognition of the necessity and justice of regulating fringe-land uses to permit effective location and timing of development.Keywords
