Analyses of fiscal limitation referenda have typically ignored the role of institutional structure in referenda outcomes.

Tax limitation referenda are shown to depend upon both the use of tax rates as a grant disbursement criterion as well as the size of the proposed tax cut. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1988
