摘要
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate budgetary solvency (BS) as a part of the financial condition of local governments (LGs), considering that the growing demand for public services is primarily affecting this variable. Design/methodology/approach The study investigates a sample of 132 Italian LGs with more than 50,000 inhabitants for the period 2005-2014. The authors obtain a set of indicators as proxies of BS, which serve as the dependent variable of a regression model aimed at testing several independent variables which the authors are interested in, namely, financial autonomy, current equilibrium, level of indebtedness and investments. Findings BS, as well as its three indicators-sustainability, flexibility and vulnerability-are positively related to financial autonomy and current equilibrium and negatively related to the level of indebtedness and investments.
