- Abstract
- The authors examined the impact of municipal government structures on the bond ratings of municipalities in the USA. While their initial analysis suggested that the mayor-council system has a negative impact on municipal bond ratings, the application of Nelson and Svara's (2010) government typology demonstrated that the political influence of a mayor on the appointment of the chief administrative officer is a driving factor that negatively affects bond ratings, regardless of the government being a mayor-council or a council-manager form.
