• W2039488082 abstract "Many economic processes are influenced by externalities within groups. Educational outcomes depend on peer-group interactions between students, which may help explain the persistence of income inequality and the stability of subcultures and social classes.' Crime rates exhibit a geographic pattern that strongly suggests the presence of interactions between potential criminals. There is also substantial evidence that amenities are influenced by interactions between neighbors, and that interactions between firms influence labor productivity.2 This paper considers how social interactions affect the institutions of local government. Specifically, we show how social interactions encourage consumers to withdraw from the traditional public sector and join exclusive groups that regulate the activities of their members. Examples include familiar organizations like exclusive suburbs and private schools and new or newly popular institutions like private governments and charter schools. Each of these institutions mediates social interactions by excluding some agents and altering the actions of others. We view the formation of these institutions as a kind of secession, since members withdraw from the civic whole and limit their interactions to other group members. These new organizations are increasingly important, surprisingly powerful, and highly controversial. One of the most widespread innovations in local government in recent years has been the rise of residential private government, including common interest developments (CIDs) and homeowner associations (HOAs). Evan McKenzie (1996) reports that the number of CIDs in the United States grew from a few hundred in the 1960's to 150,000 in 1993, and that their populations now total at least 32 million people. CIDs and HOAs are generally formed by real estate developers, and are eventually governed by an elected board of members. CIDs limit interactions with the rest of the world in a number of ways, most notoriously by building walls (Edward J. Blakely and Mary Gail Snyder, 1997). They tax their members to pay for the local public services they provide (primarily street maintenance, trash collection, and policing), collectively own and manage shared facilities (recreation centers, parks, and sometimes streets), and regulate both property use and individual conduct through covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CCRs) established by the developer. The regulatory activities of CIDs are impressive. Activities that have been prohibited include flying the flag, delivering newspapers, parking pickup trucks in the driveway, kissing outside the front door, using one's own back door too much, building fences, painting the exterior certain colors, having pets, working from one's home, marrying people below a certain age, and even having children (McKenzie, 1996 p. 4). In spite of, or perhaps because of, these regulations, CIDs provide a higher level of amenities than is available in public developments. However, critics view them as undemocratic and discriminatory private governments operating outside the constitutional restrictions that public governments face. A primary goal of this paper is to provide a model that captures the common and general features of the new institutions of local government. To that end, we develop a model of local secession motivated by social interactions and supported by regulation. The model has three essential elements. First, heterogeneous agents belong to groups, and each takes an action that * Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration, 2053 Main Mall, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z2 Canada.
