If You Want Me to Stay, Pay: A Model of Asymmetric Federalism in Centralised Countries
Highly centralised countries like Italy and Spain have devolved fiscal power to regions in an asymmetric way. Some well-off regions get transfers that turn them into net recipients of the fiscal system. We demonstrate in a political economy model of fiscal federalism that in centralised countries, side-payments are used to compensate regions that are set back by the fiscal system and can credibly threaten to secede. Compensation blocks political negotiation on alternative – more efficient – fiscal systems. We study two regions, Valle d’Aosta in Italy and País Vasco in Spain, as an example.
