Struggles over what a region receives, or should receive, from the
budget of the central government are common to many countries.
Discussions often focus on the measures of ?net fiscal flows? or
?fiscal balances? provided by the government or other actors. This
unique book shows just how these flows are computed then
interpreted and clarifies the often misunderstood economic and
political motives that explain why some regions receive more monies
than others.The Political Economy of Inter-Regional Fiscal Flows
provides an overview of the main methods currently being used to
measure ?fiscal flows?, highlighting the advantages of the
different approaches and interpreting their results. The book
reviews the political economy literature that analyses the
determinants of inter-regional ?fiscal flows?. Particular attention
is devoted to the relationship between ?fiscal flows? and country
stability, with methodological contributions and country studies
both focusing on this issue. The contributing economists and
political scientists provide a state-of-the-art study that will
prove to be of great use to academics and practitioners in public
sector economics and finance.
