Abstract

We are flattered that Ken Newton considers our research to be the only serious attempt to test Tiebout in Britain, but we would like to correct the errors of his fairy tale as well as refute his criticisms.Kenneth Newton, ‘Residential Mobility in London: Rational Choice Fairy Tale, Utopia, or Reality?’ British Journal of Political Science, this issue, pp. 148–51; Peter John, Keith Dowding and Stephen Biggs, ‘Residential Mobility in London: A Micro-Level Test of the Behavioural Foundations of the Tiebout Model’, British Journal of Poltical Science, 25 (1995), 379–97.
