description Budget volatility-the difference between expected and actual revenues and expenditures-is a critical component to sustaining a local government's fiscal health. Although scholars have examined many determinants of budget volatility, less understood is the effect of a local government's economy-the composition of its economic base-on budget volatility. To fill this gap, this article uses panel data methods to test the impact of a city's economic base on budget volatility. The results suggest that industrial diversification has no impact on budget stability but that certain industrial clusters do generally promote budget stability.
