We test the special purpose government (SPGs) typology as proposed in Eger (2006). The typology is tested using 405 observations from a survey of SPGs. A factor analysis of the survey data generates measures of Eger’s financial and governing autonomy classifications. These measures are strongly associated with the primary government’s (PG’s) compliance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 61, which mandates how a PG should report its relationship to its SPG.
