An Analysis d Local Finance - Utilizing the Factor Analysis -

In this paper the relationship between the individual indices which have been traditionally considered to reflect the local finance and three aspects of local finance - fiscal size, fiscal structure, fiscal managemmt-is examined in detail. Specifically the traditional classification is tested whether the attributes of the statistical data coincide with a certain aspect of local finance. The technique utilized for this research is factor analysis. According to the results of the analysis. the traditional classification of local finance fits well with the factors in two cases ; fiscal size and fiscal structure. However individual indices which have been categorized under the fiscal management do not correspond to the variables in the factor. Another important finding through this research is that in case of cities, we could not reject all the null hypotheses that differences of means exist among nine provinces for three factor scores, however in case of counties all the null hypotheses were rejected when we applied the analysis of variance(ANOVA).
