Videti je, da so neposredno izvoljeni župani dejansko postali moderni. Vendar pa se je ob tem le redko kdo ustavil in razmislil o finančnem vplivu neposredno izvoljenih županov na lokalno raven upravljanja: iz Avstralije in Nove Zelandije dejansko ni nikakršnih dokazov in velik del razpoložljivih podatkov je že precej zastarel. Analizirali smo petletne podatke za Novi Južni Wales v Avstraliji in našli dokaze močnih in statistično pomembnih povečanih odhodkov iz poslovanja enot na lokalnih ravneh upravljanja, kjer se uporablja model neposredno izvoljenih županov. V zaključku smo predstavili učinek, ki ga ima ta povezava lahko na trajnost lokalnih ravni upravljanja.
