講座主題:Taxation by Citation? Exploring Local Governments’ Revenue Motive for Traffic Fines

稅收與交通罰單:探索地方政府對交通罰單的财政收入動機

講座主要内容:Anecdotal evidence suggests that local governments may have a revenue motive for traffic fines beyond public safety concerns. Using California county-level data over a 12-year period, this article presents findings that counties increased per capita traffic fines by 40 to 42 cents in the year immediately after a 10-percentage-point tax revenue loss in the previous year; however, these counties did not reduce traffic fines if they experienced tax revenue increase in the previous year. This finding indicates that local governments view traffic fines a revenue source to offset tax revenue loss, but not as a smoother to manage revenue fluctuation. This article also presents findings that low-income, Hispanic-majority counties raised more traffic fines. Counties that generate more revenue from transient occupancy tax—a tax typically paid by travelers and visitors—raised more traffic fines, indicting a tax exporting behavior by shifting the traffic fines burden on non-local drivers.
