| Research Abstract |
In this research, I tried to capture the effects of public sector evaluation in Japanese local government. I focused on the public sector evaluation, municipal mergers and spatial inter-dependencies.
First, the financial situation of local government was improved by the project evaluation. Second, I found out that municipalities achieved reductions in their total expenditures with mergers. Third, I observed spatial dependencies in some areas of expenditure. It is seen that these policy areas are determined by the adjustment of central government. These results were published in peer-reviewed journals.
