I'm looking for a research article on the subject of "education and
current tax policy"  which uses the interpretive method or field
research method to explore the issue.

By "field research" do you mean interviews or survey?

Clarification of Question by mynickname-ga on 04 Feb 2003 14:54 PST

thanks, I'm a graduate student in public administration and I'm
looking for research that is done by using either interviews or
through the use of surveys as the technique to collect the date--my
area of interest is with how schools are funded and taxation policies
but I can expand or alter that idea to look at school funding and
whether current methods are working--if that makes it simpler ...thank
you again for your help on this

Dear mynickname-ga;

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting

This one has great information here as far as data and statistics go.
Just type in the name of any school and it will show a great deal of
data on the one you selected and a number of others that are similar.
You’ll get Revenue per Student, Revenue $ Amts,  % of Revenue,
Expenditures, and Characteristics. Under each of these heading are a
number of other statistics such as Total Revenue, Amt from Federal,
Amt from Local, Amt from State, etc.

Below you will find that I have carefully defined my search strategy
for you in the event that you need to search for more information. By
following the same type of searches that I did you may be able to
enhance the research I have provided even further. I hope you find
that that my research exceeds your expectations. If you have any
questions about my research please post a clarification request prior
to rating the answer. Otherwise, I welcome your rating and your final
comments and I look forward to working with you again in the near
future. Thank you for bringing your question to us.

Best regards;
Tutuzdad-ga
