520	3		_aProponents of city-county government consolidation argue that it is likely to have a positive effect on economic development because less bureaucracy and more efficient government will atract new business, encourage the expansion of existing business, and increase local employment. This article examines the effect of city-county consolidation on employment levels and the number of business establishments in Augusta-Richmond County, Georgia; Kansas City-Wyandotte County, Kansas; and Lafayette City-Lafayette Parish, Louisiana. A fixed-effects regression model is used to examine the impact of consolidation. The results suggest that consolidation has no effect on economic development as measured by employment levels and the number of business establishments.
