碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 政治學研究所 === 105 === This thesis collects panel data for all the local governments in Taiwan from 1999 to 2013. It uses the empretical research to observe the factors which affect the allocation of local government expenditures in Taiwan.In the thesis, the results suggested that the total expenditures and current expenditures tend to follow the incremental budget trend in the political factors. Second, elections have a significant positive effect on total expenditures and capital expenditures of local government. Third, both vertical divided government and horizontal divided government do not have significant result. However, in the fiscal economics factors, unemployment rate has a significant positive relation on local government expenditures which verifies the hypothesis of Keyesian Theory. Second, financial pressure has a significant effect on local government expenditures which means local government will take action to cut the spemding slightly when facing financial pressure. Finally, there is no significant result between self-financing resourses and local government expenditures.
