Policy of Delay: Evidence from a Bayesian Analysis of Metropolitan Land-Use Choices
Do local policymakers strategically use delay in permitting development to
forestall the growth machine? The mantras of smart growth and
sustainable development assume local governments can balance the
competing values of economic development, ecology, and equity interests
in a community. We employ a political market framework to explain
differences in local government land use decisions. This framework
conceptualizes policy choices as resulting from the interplay between the
aggregate policy demand by residents, developers, and
environmental interests and the aggregate supply by government
authorities. Delays can be imposed strategically through processes of
development approval by city governments where industry strength and
form of government vary within county-level service-delivery
fragmentation. We utilize novel Bayesian multilevel modelling of data
collected from 2007 and 2015 surveys of Florida city planners and find
strong institutional effects and multilevel relationships.Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology and the Portuguese Ministry of Education
