What are the benefits of intergovernmental competition? Do those benefits disappear if the mobility of individuals in the society is limited? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
Intergovernmental competition gives individuals a variety of governments to choose from. By moving from one government to another they can choose from among different bundles of local public goods. Intergovernmental competition also facilitates comparisons among local governments, giving citizens a way to compare the performance of their own governments by giving a benchmark of quality. The benefits associated with intergovernmental competition do not disappear if mobility is limited because individuals can still compare their own governments to nearby governments.
