Abstract: Changing the relationship between citizens and government is often cited as a goal for digital government, and new tools such as social media have the potential to improve interactions with citizens through dialogue. We further explore three case study cities through analysis of discussion on social networks, and interviews, and find that one-way “push” strategies (Mergel, 2013a) predominate, although there are some signs of greater openness toward dialogue with citizens. Hendrick, R, & Crawford, J. (2014). Spending Volatility, Fiscal Policy Space, and Fiscal Structure: Do Revenue Options and Flexibility Matter? Public Budgeting & Finance, 34(3), 24-50. Abstract: In this research, we examine the impact of municipal governments' internal fiscal structure and external fiscal policy space on operational spending volatility and fund balances. We tested our model using a system of two equations that is estimated with panel data consisting of 265 municipalities in the Chicago metropolitan region from 1997 to 2009. Presentations and Panels
