External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Flypaper effect. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20100714183613/http://www.law.berkeley.edu/faculty/rubinfeldd/Profile/publications/stimulative_effects.pdf to https://www.law.berkeley.edu/faculty/rubinfeldd/Profile/publications/stimulative_effects.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Expansion to encompass different meanings

Hi all, I haven't had a chance to do a deep dive on research, but this Harvard publication that I found in researching another project seems to point to there being another meaning for the term. Any help in adding that, or, if you're interested, creating a page for Flypaper effect (consumer finance), would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Improvements needed

" a dollar received by the community in the form of a grant results in greater public spending than a dollar increase in community income". This is a very bad statement of the idea. Of course a dollar increase in the form of a grant results in greater public spending than a dollar increase in income. The taxes from the income would be a lot less than a dollar. Why would anyone think they would have the same effect ? editeur24 (talk) 22:05, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
