It is not only the balance of these sources, but also the rules around tax and fee policy and fiscal equalisation that affect funding outcomes and the fiscal incentives faced by subnational governments. We use an ongoing shift in England’s local government finance system from equalising grants to a greater reliance on local tax revenues, aimed at incentivising growth, as a case study of the trade-offs between equalisation and incentives inherent in sub-national finance. In particular using data from 2006–07 to 2013–14, we show the significant fiscal disparities between local government units in England, and the factors that correlate with the size and changes in these disparities over time. We model proposed reforms to England’s local government finance system and show that even if revenues are initially fully equalised relative to assessed spending needs, significant fiscal disparities can re-emerge in just a few years. However, the scale of these balances depends significantly on specific design choices such as marginal equalisation for those units seeing the largest shortfalls in revenue, and revenue sharing in areas with two-tier local government.","PeriodicalId":350343,"journal":{"name":"OECD Fiscal Federalism Studies","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114182615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alexeev","doi":"10.1787/7ab43e02-en","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1787/7ab43e02-en","url":null,"abstract":"The Asian regions of the Russian federation play a disproportionately important role in the economy of the country. While only about one-quarter of Russia’s population lives in Asia, they produce almost 30% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). This chapter describes the intergovernmental fiscal framework in Russia and examines its effects on regional fiscal incentives, economic growth, and inequality, focusing on the Asian regions. The analysis suggests that fiscal incentives, both in the Asian regions and the rest of Russia, generated by the tax assignment policy and transfers from the federal budget are relatively weak. However, explicit fiscal rules aimed mostly at fiscally weak regions enhance fiscal incentives. Although federal transfers do not seem to impede economic growth of the Asian regions, overall transfer dependence and particularly balancing transfers are associated with lower regional growth in the European part of Russia. Transfers do reduce inter-regional inequality with respect to budgetary revenues and expenditures, but the effect is smaller for equalization transfers. The balancing transfers reduce inequality the least and sometimes even increase it. This is true both for the Asian regions and for the country as a whole. Overall inter-regional revenue inequality with and without transfers decreased in 2005-2007, stabilized in 2007-2013, and increased significantly through 2015.","PeriodicalId":350343,"journal":{"name":"OECD Fiscal Federalism Studies","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116248050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence is limited and the results are highly variable. The premise of the chapter is that a first step in addressing this question is to document how decentralisation works. Although an important public sector reform in Asia, decentralisation is organized and operates in diverse ways that reflect differences in country characteristics, histories and political economy forces. This chapter briefly examines key aspects of decentralisation in selected Asian countries—the intergovernmental system structure and decentralisation framework, the degree of fiscal empowerment and decision-making autonomy, and the level of accountability reflected in the local political system, among others. Each of these features has potential implications for inclusive development, although how they interact, the results they generate, and their dependence on other public policies may differ across countries. Given the diversity, complexity and information gaps involved, few policy generalisations beyond relatively broad statements can be made. More work is needed to establish an evidence base on the role that fiscal decentralisation—supported by other institutional and political reforms—can potentially play in inclusive development in Asia.","PeriodicalId":350343,"journal":{"name":"OECD Fiscal Federalism Studies","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115865989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on data collected by a pilot study entitled “Sub-national governments around the world: structure and finance”, it provides a comparative analysis of sub-national government organisation, responsibilities and finances across the 16 selected countries. The preliminary findings highlight the high diversity of the sample in terms of socio-economic characteristics and institutional settings as well as the complex nature of sub-national government structure with many asymmetric situations. They also stress significant fiscal imbalances in the region. While sub-national governments are involved in the provision of a wide range of public goods, services and infrastructure, in particular for social cohesion, they have in practice very limited discretionary power over their revenues, most particularly tax revenues, confirming that fiscal decentralisation is still lagging behind in many countries of the Asia-Pacific Region. This situation delays the empowerment of sub-national governments as key actors in the developing process of their countries, in particular for inclusive growth.","PeriodicalId":350343,"journal":{"name":"OECD Fiscal Federalism Studies","volume":"166 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114732909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
