Abstract
This paper examines fiscal decentralization in the context of Ukraine’s European integration. It is established that fiscal decentralization is to give local self-governments autonomy in determining revenues and expenditures, including the authority to collect taxes and fees. As a result, the impact of fiscal decentralization on regions’ tax capacity was assessed. It is proved that fiscal decentralization has a positive influence on financial development of regions. The lack of efficiency and declarativeness of the reform in Ukraine are argued. Further steps on the path of fiscal decentralization are proposed in order to increase the level of local self-governments’ financial autonomy.
期刊介绍:
Journal of International Commerce, Economics and Policy (JICEP) is a peer-reviewed journal that seeks to publish high-quality research papers that explore important dimensions of the global economic system (including trade, finance, investment and labor flows). JICEP is particularly interested in potentially influential research that is analytical or empirical but with heavy emphasis on international dimensions of economics, business and related public policy. Papers must aim to be thought-provoking and combine rigor with readability so as to be of interest to both researchers as well as policymakers. JICEP is not region-specific and especially welcomes research exploring the growing economic interdependence between countries and regions.
